Hence my problem with the word "compelling". It was an interesting story, which had potential. However, when the 'surprise' ending is easy to guess a quarter of the way through and the characters are written in a way which is nothing short of grating, there is a problem with the writing.

As Shyamalan is also directing Split, the potential for the same issue (good story, poor execution) remains.
