I know you’re not visiting to read a review, but I just have to vent (rant) about that new M. Night Shyamalan movie. Now let me first say I’ve never really been disappointed by one of his movies. Ok, by ‘Signs’ maybe, but I enjoyed most of his other works. I even somewhat liked ‘Lady in the Water,’ although I agree if you’d say it was all downhill from ‘The Sixth Sense.’
His latest thrillride however, is just awful. I mean aaaaawful. Skip it unless you’re looking for a movie to make you laugh. What’s the problem? The script. Some might say it’s the poor acting. But if the lines are this bad, how can you satisfy as an actor? Mark Wahlberg starts of weak. As suspected by the trailer, the ‘bad boy’ can’t convince as a teacher — at all. But he grows in his role after leaving the school. Zooey Deschanel isn’t bad either. Although she does play her role on the weird side, which was about the only interesting part of the movie.
