Personal Thought- This movie in its entirety is a complete dramatic masterpiece. This movie shows every important aspect that is vital to the story without imperfection. The movie is very analyzing on racism and how our country functions between all races. Do not let the fact that this movie is based around Neo Nazi-ism drive you away. This film makes no attempt to convert any view to being a skinhead. I myself before watching this film was a little weary on the main topic of the film but I assure you that both before and after I watched the film I have no association with Skinheads (just to make that all clear).
I believe that a lot of people look at this movie and hold it in very high regard because of all the social and racial details in the film, but if you're just watching this movie for something to watch, and racism or illegal immigration isn't a big issue in your personal life, then you will just enjoy the movie for the storyline like I did, instead of analyzing each point made in the film to its furthest degree. So you could say that this is both a casual film and a very informative film for people who are trying to figure out the inner workings of Neo-Nazis and racism in America.

Genre- Drama, Mystery, Thriller, Sci-Fi Director- M. Night Shymalan
Starring Actors- Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschannel
Plot Summary-An unexplainable phenomenon in scattered parts of the united states is beginning spread. This force makes the afflicted person find the quickest way for them to commit suicide and then carry out the task. The story follows a High School science teacher, his wife, and close friend, who are cast in the middle of this horrifying crisis, just trying to survive by any means necessary.
Personal Opinion- This film has got to be one of the worst films that I have ever sat through in my entire existence. Usually when someone makes a statement like that, they don't really mean it, but in this instance it is 100% true, this is my least favorite movie of all time. There are many critics out there that will back me up with warnings like, "M. Night Shyamalan (Director) had inflicted upon audiences something worse than death." At first glance, yes the movie does look appealing with all the promise of global unexplainable suicides. In the end, this film just simply fails to deliver the goods.
We all know that M. Night Shyamalan is known for his twists, but I'm going to have to say that the twist at this movie just made me as a viewer want every second of my lifetime wasted watching this movie back. The twist is HORRIBLE, it's not even one that makes you have to think back through the plot and put the pieces of the story together that would have lead up to it, as was the case in his more successful films such as Sixth Sense
This will most likely be the lowest score anyone will ever witness on this movie review blog. Partly for how terrible the movie itself is, and partly for how much disappointment it brings after the hype of a promising trailer. Oh, and lop off a couple extra points just because Mark Wahlberg is the main character. Whenever that man even shows his face in a movie, you can be sure that ratings will fall. If you don't despise Mark Wahlberg yet, and you wish to keep him as you're little "Marky Mark" I'd advise you to steer clear of this film.
The best thing you could ever possibly say about this film is that you've never seen it.
