i am really behind the times because i just saw this movie last night. wanted to see it before the Oscars so i could make my own judgment. i saw it with a rowdy packed house so it took away some of the impact. i still thought that it was a great movie & believe it or not, i was surprised by the ending. i do think that this movie can be seen many times b/c there are certain things you want to look for the 2nd or 3rd time around. the acting was good & the kid was very believable in my opinion. thought the writing was good also & it was handled very differently from your average "dead people" films. i would recommend it.

i liked this film as well. it was very clever and original, and we as the movie goer audience have not seen a film like this in a long time. i think that is why audiences flocked to this film. the word of mouth was excellent and every one wanted to see what people were gawking about. this movie wasn't even a "anticipated" movie of the summer and kind of crept up and bit us in the ass. i think american beauty was the last film i saw that generated this much buzz. that was very clever too.

This movie sucked. It was so long, retarded, boring, with about 5 minutes of interesting film. I was fidgeting so badly in my seat at the theater that my wife KNEW I hated it. Usually she has to wait until we're in the light to see the frown on my face. What a piece of crap this film was. By the time their 'surprise' ending came along (which I did NOT expect) I was so bored out of my wits that I didn't even care any more.

I must be in the minority here, but I thought the whole movie was completely spellbinding. I enjoyed the slow pace as an excellent break from the usual hollywood drivel that moves fast, faster, and out of control; i.e. Entrapment.
I debated on purchasing this movie though. I told myself I would only watch this movie once, but I thought of the Usual Suspects (another incredible suprise ending) which I've seen around 6 times. So, I will watch this movie numerous times and will be amazed every time I watch it. Especially on DVD!
