I had some time before watching this movie so checked out some reviews. All of them were pointing me not to watch. I consider Shyamalan as one of the gifted and talented director so I watched the movie anyways and I was not a bit disappointed, at least if I go by the reviews. One must be able to appreciate the hard work put in by Shyamalan. Its a original story, made nicely enough to capture your attention throughout the film. New York city is suddenly attacked by some mysterious agents which drives people to commit suicides and this is spreading. The people are clueless. There is chaos. Elliot and friends try to get out of the city into a safer place but it doesn't always happen the way you want it to be. Elliot has to save his love and his friend's daughter out of this and then begins an adventure.

Its been Shyamalan's trademark that in his movies the characters are always above the story and same happened in Happening. Mark, I thought, was perfect for the job. The others were not much attractive but one must not miss that since Mark is the main protagonist and the movie completely revolves around him. Mark was excellent. With the occasional comedy and romance thrusted in, the movie was worth the time. The plot is good enough to hold you back and spasmodic thrills bring chills. I consider this another excellent piece from Shyamalan although it will be always below Sixth Sense or Unbreakable but I admit I have enjoyed every movie of him. It deserves a better review and rating than this. Take my word, never go by the rating and you will find it good enough.

Ah! Words fail me. It is hard to imagine what more Heath ledger had in store before he left us. We never knew him truly. He was struggling to prove his merit and he did it with immortalizing Joker. The personality of Joker was typical of a villain that one finds missing in regular movies. After watching it, I think the whole film industry around the world has woken up to the true villain. It will be very difficult to find Ledger's replacement because he left Joker where no one can ever think to match him.

Initially I thought the votes and praises for TDK were sympathy. I went to see the movie unprejudiced and I came out praising Heath without bounds. His screen presence is amazing, his mannerism is awesome and the look on his face is bold, confident. He is afraid of the death in the face of it. He is funny and he is cruel. He has his style and moves and I loved every single bit of it. Others were mere puppets dancing around him (seemed to me) while he ruled it all. Other characters are good enough to make the film fine but Heath made it beyond excellent.

The movie is worth every money and time spent. Heath deserves an Oscar not out of sympathy but he truly deserves that for Joker. After TDK, Jack Nicholson's was a mediocre. Watch it for everything you longed for. I bet you'll not be disappointed. Watch it for Heath alone and you will get the whole package.

Yeah......the movie completely deserves it. There are a very few movies whom i rate excellent and smokin aces is definitely one of them. The movie is full of twists and turns, surprising at every scene, totally edge of the seat. I was disappointed to see the IMDb rating and after I watched it I thought is as an injustice. The same happened with tears of the sun although i liked this one better than that. All the characters are awesome. The real show stealer for me was Martin Henderson. He doesn't appear more often but every time he appears, leaves an unerasable mark in the memory. If I would watch it for the second time, it would be definitely for him (although there are million other reasons). Another strong character was that of Reynold's. He proves his maturity at acting. Ray is as usual his best. All others have done a descent (spl reference to the neo-nazi group) job and full credit to the creators. Once in a while you see a film like this. There are small stories intervened, the connections between one and the other creates a way for others to connect. All in all a total entertainment esp. when its a thriller full of heavy star-cast and the story.

Awesome Awesomw Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just watch it before you change your mind. Trust me!
