“Ask yourself this: what if Shyamalan was the show runner of the late, great series "Lost," but the show's primary funding source was AARP and Shyamalan started channeling the sentiment of the anti-Big Pharma crowd? Congratulations, now you've got where this movie was going!

After Shyamalan's de riguer Hitchcock-like cameo, the plot was pretty much a giveaway - something nefarious was afoot and Shyamalan's character was facilitating it. Too, too much talking and psycho-babble, too little plot twists and red herrings.” read more
