I enjoyed this movie. Great acting on several fronts: Obviously Mc Avoy in his character changes, but Betty Buckley, who I cannot remember seeing since her Eight Is Enough days and now I am wondering why. She is convincing as the psychiatrist and her, among anyone in the film, pulls the viewer in to care about the other characters. The girl from The Witch, who plays a lead role in this, is going to be a fantastic actress in a few years.

It seems like this is getting mixed reviews on line with the detractors saying it is typical M. Knight, post Unbreakable predictability. I think those people brought their biases into the show with them. I did not find it predictable in any way. You had to have walked into the theater thinking it's M. Knight so there will be a turn in order to have any ability to foresee this turn.

I give this movie three red forehead dots out of four.

I liked it, too. Didn't love it but liked it. I was actually waitingfor a bigger M Night plot twist. I was thinking thatthe girl would somehow be involved with one of his personalities.

Finally watched this. Agreed with both leash and dolphin in that it is very enjoyable movie. McAvoy does a great job with the different personalities, and like leash I thought the girl was involved somehow with Kevin.

The ending tying into Unbreakable was a nice twist as well.
