I really like M. Night Shyamalan's movies. I'm looking forward to checking this one out.

Okay, well, not to break any rice bowls or anything...
Saw it last night, and all I can say is that, if you REALLY like M. Night Shyamalan's movies, you'll probably like it.
If you're not a fan of his already, this isn't going to be the one to convert you.
I thought it had some great moments, and the idea behind the story is kind of neat, but the direction and overall handling of the material left me wanting something more. He seems to have a knack for making every story arc flat as a nevada pancake, while leaving the constituent moments emotionally unmoving. I found myself waiting for something more to happen the entire movie, and it never did.

the lion/zoo scene kinda actually got to me and I'm pretty desensitized but the flick pretty much blows.... that Zoe dame was just horrible and even Marky Mark kinda sucked.... however, on THAT note, we're doin site for upcoming MAX PAYNE - of vid game fame - and he's lead role. Godspeed Marky... godspeed
