I thought it was awesome, but, This movie seems to have been made
exclusively for new yorkers or folk who have visted NYC Its the
recognisable
landmarks that make it special and scary. To anyone who is unfamiliar with
NYC it is going to look crap and very contrived/ fake.
I wanted to like this movie but it was very 'Blair Witch' do yourselves a
favour and rent "I am Legend' instead. It's the best film I've seen in
many
years.
Will Smith is the man.
