Lady in the Water

Manoj Night Shyamalan the Indian ace in direction of Hollywood movies is the captain of the movie Lady in the Water. Actually, I went out for Monster House but since the show timing was missed, half mindedly entered to watch this movie. The movie is a science fiction and dictates the whole story with an old bed time story. The play initially was really stretchy and found my self itchy. After some time you get the grip of it and was interesting to watch. The background score and the movie coupled well with each other and was some time breaking you. The sudden twists and the alien creature makes you bit frightened.
The whole movie was taken in an apartment set and I believe that the cost of making would be low. Few places Manoj could have taken care. Each time inside the apartment when somebody speaks the mike kept for live recording sneaks into the screen and it’s more visible. From a good director, these simple flaws have to be taken out as the movie is released all over the world. Apart from it the initial slow pace and kind of dramatical play, makes the audience bit bored. But the later part looked promising and surprises with its sequences.
Manoj himself has taken a role as Vick Ran and up on the screen. But he doesn't have much work. The main character was Paul Giamatti as Cleveland Heep and has extremely performed well. Few other comical characters make you to enjoy the movie. But it doesn’t drift from the main subject which happens in Tamil movies. It’s a good fantasy movie to watch which was shot within a single apartment set. Still makes an impact on the show.
