A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.
Written and directer by M. Night Shyamalan. Rated PG-13 (105 min)
…. masterfully shot, with great use of wide angles, cropped frames, and a sense of foreboding inside and around the concert venue.
Shyamalan’s crafts a deceptively simple experience. The plot is rather ingeniously straightforward, at first, but the fraught journey of a father and killer trying not to upend and upset the carefully constructed delusional fabrication of his life—and how the two identities crash into each other on one fateful day— is exhilaratingly multifaceted.
…. it’s perhaps his best-engineered work since The Village and arguably the purest piece of entertainment he’s ever made.
