    DO NOT see this movie if you think it's going to be good like "Signs" or "The sixth sense". I wasted 90 minutes of my life watching this film, it was rubbish, the acting by everyone was rubbish, the plot was rubbish, the script was rubbish!! 90 minutes of rubbish!!

    I'm so glad I didn't pay to watch this (friend at cinema!) if I had, I would have asked for my money back! I was actually shocked by how bad this film was when I left the cinema. I wouldn't even watch it on dvd or the tv. It wasn't even a good B movie, god knows who actually financed it.

    I must say when I read the reviews I was expecting and hour and a half of boredom but it was actually a good film!! Not one of mark wahlbergs best but its one of those films that you can't stop watching because you just have to know what happens,I would recommend this film and would just ignore the other reviews!!

    We've established through previous reviews that this film is 'flimsy' (and that's being kind!) It's a waste of 86 minutes of your day that would be better spent counting the blades of grass on your lawn. What I'd like to know is if M Night Shyamalan has made a decent film since 6th Sense? I'm rapidly losing patience with the drivel he's come up with since the 6th Sense.

  • “This was an act of nature and we’ll never fully understand it”.

    “This was an act of nature and we’ll never fully understand it”. A theme that runs throughout and which nicely summarises what could charitably be described as a hilariously bad film. But having just sat through the full 90 minutes I’m not feeling charitable. Within the first 2 minutes I was laughing at how bad it was but by the end I had lost interest altogether. The plot is flimsy to say the least, the only cliff hangers being whether the next line uttered by one of the characters will be more clichéd or corny than the last. The dialogue is truly appalling but the acting by Mark Wahlberg falls even lower. The only good thing I can say about this film is that it didn’t bore me because, thankfully, it is only 90 minutes long.

    Well I had not read the reviews before hand but I thought a pairing of Zooey and Wahlberg must be good, this thinking unfortunately did not pay off, the idea is, well terrible and the person who looked at the script and put their money behind the film must have some screw loose as it shouldnt work and it doesnt, ah well cant beat zooey on screen though.
