Ok, so judging from all the other reviews , I am definitely in the minority here.
I am usually such a fan of M. Night Shyamalan's films , but am sorry to say that this one did not do it for me.
James McEvoy was , without a doubt , brilliant in this , and everyone else acted their parts realy well.
My problem is , that I realy could not understand how three well abled girls could not overpower , or outsmart one slight of build man !
There were so many missed opportunities , not to mention potential weapons of all sorts , mirrors, cleaning products , hangers ,etc. I could go on but you get the point ?
Also how daft is it for a highly intelligent woman ,Dr. Fletcher ,to go alone to his home , and then, after she twigs that he is highly dangerous ( finally ) , and has her suspicions that he might not be alone , she continues to go snooping around his creepy home, rather than doing a runner and contacting the police .
I found these parts a major let down , also I was not really convinced about the " Beast ".
Now , a lot of reviewers might say that I just did'nt " Get It " , but I did,, I just did'nt think that it was the masterpiece that I had been led to believe .
