Review:  This Happens to be one of Mr. Philadelphia, M. Night Shyamalan's latest flicks.  Lets all be glad he didn't direct this one though.  I happen to hate Philadelphia.  So some of his flicks tend to be good cause stuff in Philly gets destroyed in his movies.  Most not so good.  There is always a twist in his movies as well.  I love twists, as much as Denzel loves to hate on Tom Hanks' AIDS. (see what I did there?)


The basic plot is five people are stuck in an elevator and a bunch of crazy shit starts happening after the elevator gets stuck.  As the title states, there is some work of the devil going on as well.  


The twist Shyamalan throws at the end of this movie is unreal.  Fucking mind blowing.  Throughout the entire movie you don't get the privilege of seeing any boats.  None.  The last scene as the camera pans over the Ben Franklin Bridge, the very last thing you see is a mother fucking MARINA, with you guessed it, an ass load of awesome glorious boats.  The best ending to a movie I have ever witnessed.  Hats of M. Night, hats off.  Now I have to go change my pants.


Score:
(7.5 Nolte Heads out of 10)
