It’s tragically easy for a once-great director to lose his way-as evidenced by M. Night Shayamalan (director of The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, et al) and his dramatic fall from grace with The Happening. Starring a shockingly terrible Zooey Deschanel and Mark Walhberg (though who ever claimed either of them could act, really?), Shayamalan claimed it was a throwback to retro disaster movies- but that wasn’t enough to excuse to lazy environmental theme and dull plot.
