The Happening (2008)

Mark Wahlberg isn’t much of an actor. M Night Shyamalan isn’t much of a writer. What would the two be like together? Not as bad, or pretentious, as it could have been, but it is still not good. And, at 90 minutes, it was too long for the minimal ground the story covered. The Happening is another nature fights back tale as a plant generated virus is wiping out New York state and Marky Mark is on the run. The biggest surprise is that Shyamalan doesn’t try to surprise us with another attempted twist ending.

Marky Mark runs but realises there is nowhere to hide from his limited acting ability and a dull script...
