I must be, like, getting old and jaded or something. I found the movie predictable and more straightforward than I hoped it would be.

A good alternative name for the film would have been "Wait, what?" as if there was any less action you'd be constantly asking yourself why the eff they didn't do X, or why Y didn't happen etc. The word "contrived" will keep nudging at your brain if you're not doing an exceptional job of suspending all disbelief along with all common sense.

The final scene of the film was rather obvious from early on I thought.

I found it relatively easy to follow, exactly what I was expecting, and totally lacking in interesting "Sixth Sense" plot twists. Everything pretty much was as it was presented to be.

Not sure how this makes it to #3 on the all-time best list.

The Matrix was way more entertaining...
