As Shyamalan is also directing Split, the potential for the same issue (good story, poor execution) remains. |
Take from this what you will but I didn't see the twist coming and I like to think I'm generally good at spotting these things. Possibly I was too distracted with the (most annoying in the history of cinema) kid rapping his way through the whole damn film like he thought he was in an 8 Mile remake. The sprog in Babadook everyone seems to hate has got nothing on this twat. Personally the twist was about the only redeeming thing the film has.
