Unexpected were a nice touch of comedy
at the beginning and some dramatic moments near the end which worked
wonderfully in enhancing the more electrifying scenes. But of course
it was the spectacular thrills which rewarded those who kept their
focus on the screen. And what sold the thrills were hugely intense
build ups which raised the level of suspense to near unbearable
heights. However, all wasn't perfect here. The time spent creating
characters and setting up payoffs were borderline boring, only kept
afloat by an uneasiness inherent to the plot. Comparatively, perhaps
the earlier parts were just a victim of this movie's successes.
Extras on this DVD consisted of a terrific "making of"
documentary, five deleted scenes (without commentary), a look at an
early film by writer/director/producer M. Night Shyamalan, and two
multi-angle storyboard comparisons. No commentary track.
While earlier acts suffered slightly, the final one compensated more
than enough to satisfy.
