1. Walk the Line

   12 February, 2006:

   Arriving at the Odeon five minutes before the film began was a mistake; I’d overestimated how many people wanted to see this film, so I had to sit right at the front and right at the edge, my neck twisted, my vision overwhelmed by GIANT FACES and a muscle in my back nagging me for the whole time. Despite this, I enjoyed Walk the Line, and if I can enjoy a film whilst sat like a practicing contortionist then I think that says a lot.

   After Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs, M. Night Shyamalan brings us a story that’s never quite sure what it’s trying to be. As a horror film, it fails to be scary; as a thriller, it fails to thrill, as a mystery it fails to elicit intrigue and as a love story it fails to engage the emotions. Is there anything that the film succeeds in?
