Genre: Drama Fantasy Mystery Thriller
Direction: M. Night Shyamalan
Leads: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Kackson
This movie might have got some negative responses from the general crowd just because the pace is a bit slow. But the thing is, they have no sense of direction. All they want to see from a movie about superpowers, is a guy jumping off the buildings and killing people with his abilities. Well, if you want to see a superhero action movie, this one is a bit too classy for you. This movie is, let me make it clear right away, is not an action movie, as you can see the genre.
This movie is brilliantly directed, and I didn't expect anything more or anything less from Shyamalan. He knows his audience and this is another masterpiece to follow up his last one, The Sixth Sense. This movie is not about using superpowers to lead the world. This movie is far more practical than that. This movie literally makes you feel what a person would, if he had a superpower. There is no hero versus villain, no good guy versus bad guy, not in a way we have seen them till now anyways. This movie will make you skip beats at several instances and the ending is just too profound! At times, I even thought it was better than 6-time Oscar-nominated The Sixth Sense. The writer and direction truly deserve to be appreciated.
If you have a heart, you will love this movie!
I strongly recommend this one to people who have patience and keen eye for direction and who appreciate the build-ups.
Still, if the movie had a slight more pace, I'd have rated it exactly same as The Sixth Sense. But trust me, it's very close to it. Again, I wish could rate it between 3.5 and 4.0. But I can't.
