One of the most disappointing finales to a trilogy that no one asked for. If you’re gonna make a single location movie, you need to make it interesting and tense. But majority of the hospital section is very dull and boring with the characters just sitting around in their cells, and the doctor spends so much time trying to convince the protagonists of their delusions when both they and the audience clearly know she’s bullshitting. The side characters also don’t do much in this film besides Casey, who is given an important role but her reasons for helping her kidnapper and serial killer are unexplored. Bruce Willis’ acting gives the impression that he doesn’t even want to be in this movie. James McAvoy is amazing in this role, just like he was in Split (2016). Samuel Jackson is absolutely menacing as Mr. Glass and I really enjoyed seeing him putting plans into motion, however you have to wait through almost an hour of seeing him doing nothing until you get to this section. And his plans pay off to zero satisfaction with that terrible ending. The plot twist is a secret organisation that we’ve never heard about or seen any build up to, turning the tables and killing all the protagonists? Shyamalan is a complete hack and treats his audience as a joke. His latest movies (excluding Split) and the tv show Servant have been so wack because they all start with a good premise but have the worst and shallowest of endings. He’s a director who loves giving you blue balls as he always sprinkles good teases, like in this movie he hints to a big fight that’ll take place at Osaka Towers, but none of it ever comes to fruition. The tons of theories that fans come up with for his projects are usually a million times better than any script he is capable of fashioning. Don’t waste your time with this film.
