I'm a horror buff and this was a good switch off. Not really scary but rather suspense. The move was a solid 'good'. OK, here we go... Eighteen-year-old Nick Powell (Justin Chatwin) has been, for reasons too convoluted to go into, left for dead. But his body’s still alive, and his spirit – stuck in limbo – continues to interact with those around him, desperately trying to communicate his existential plight before his body -hidden in a storm drain - expires. Being caught between life and death is probably a scary place, but it’s likely more compelling than depicted here. The cause of Nick’s current dilemma is Annie Newton (Margarita Levieva), a juvenile delinquent and classmate of Nick’s, whose troubled upbringing turned her into such a teen terror. Nick must try and compel Annie to locate his body, but it takes an HUGE amount of time to do it, during which the story – and the film as a whole - gets shaky. To the end,it got difficult to feel much sympathy, to say nothing of any interest, for what happens to these characters. How Annie is able to hear him at the end remains a mystery. If that was explained, I may have given this an excellent. But that with a coplle of other holes lands this grade in at GOOD. Slasher movie fans, don't buy. Story orientated spooky suspense folks, Pay $5.00 with small S&H on ebay and it's worth the buy. DTDRead full review
'The Invisible' is a brooding, unfocused metaphysical drama about a teen caught between this world and the next. 'The Invisible' is destined for cinematic purgatory, where poorly executed Hollywood remakes of foreign-language films go after quickly disappearing from theaters. Lackadaisically Directed by Screenwriter David Goyer, this terribly muddled adaptation of the 2002 Swedish Film "Den Osynlige" fails to generate any semblance of dramatic tension or emotional intrigue, despite the heavy-duty emoting of the cast, led by Justin Chatwin ('War of the Worlds') and Oscar Winner Marcia Gay Harden. Set in rain-swept, perpetually overcast Seattle, 'The Invisible' stars Chatwin as Nick Powell, a high school senior/budding poet viciously beaten and left for dead by Annie Newton (Margarita Levieva), a troubled classmate who mistakenly believes he tipped off the Police about her involvement in a jewelry store heist. Now, suspended in limbo as his body lies bruised and bleeding in the woods near his home, Nick struggles to tell his mother (Harden) and the Seattle Police where they can find and revive him before it's too late, but no one can see or hear him — except Annie, for reasons never made entirely clear. On the run from the Cops, she nonetheless senses Nick's ghostly presence hovering around her and vows "to do one good thing" and save him. However, she'll first have to deal with her accomplice/boyfriend Marcus (Alex O'Loughlin), who's got his own score to settle with Annie. A Screenwriter with an erratic track record — his credits run the quality gamut from the pulp high of 'Batman Begins' to the rock-bottom low of 'The Puppet Masters' — Goyer cannot shape the meandering and hazily plotted mess of Mick Davis and Christine Roum's screenplay into a coherent, tautly paced narrative. Nick's race against the clock runs parallel with Annie's quest for redemption, but their stories are so clumsily integrated, and strewn with laughable improbabilities and soap operatic clichés, that we cease to care whether the spectacularly inept Seattle Police Detectives find his body in time. Goyer attempts to gloss over 'The Invisible's' many narrative deficiencies, and ratchet up the film's Gen-Y appeal, by plastering the soundtrack with emo-rock songs, typically in montage sequences, but it's a directorial choice seemingly born of desperation. A heavy reliance on pointless montage sequences to push the dawdling narrative forward, combined with the preponderance of trite, psychobabble reduce an eerily intriguing idea for a character-driven supernatural thriller to just another mopey wallow in teen angst.

This movie is absolutely awesome. I suggest when viewing the film, make sure you already have your popcorn & snacks because you do not want to miss any of it. The movie not only paints how honorable it is to have friends, but how being a friend is a treasure. I have watched this film approximately 15 times since I received it a couple of weeks ago. Viewers will become entranced by the drama, as well as the unknown. This film may scare the living daylights out of young children and possibly some adults. It is not near as confusing as the Sixth Sense, however, it was written with the same type of intention. The film may open up the minds of disbelievers to understand and realize that not all is what is seems in life. I loved it and hope you will too!! 10**********!! It is amazing--you gotta get it and you've got to see it!Read full review
