Signs (2002)

SONY MOVIE CHANNEL, 9.00PM ★★★

 Director M Night Shyamalan has never had the tightest grip on reality but this alien invasion film involving crop circles and green monsters has great difficulty in convincing us of anything other than that the director of The Sixth Sense is a bit of a one-hit wonder. Picking a clumsy Mel Gibson as his star doesn’t help much. There is, though, great suspense, even if the movie doesn’t always make sense.
