All in all I liked this film quite a bit. My wife pointed out the painfully obvious that Mark Wahlberg is just not that serious an actor and may have been the wrong choice here (I like Wahlberg, but some parts just aren't for some people). The suicide sequences were masterfully done. The bodies falling from the roof was absolutely stunning. I loved the score as well. This film definitely had it's share of comic relief (ala Signs) but the comic relief was very tasteful and I enjoyed the bits. I'm really glad Shyamalan went back to the basics here and presented a very tense film. I was not a fan of Lady in the Water so when I saw he was directing his first R film, I was pretty pleased.
Now, I admit, this film has it flaws but the overall feel of the film was really enjoyable. Anyone else get a chance to catch this yet?
