KNOWING (2009) - ♦♦

Directed by - Alex Proyas

Written by - Ryne Douglas Parson, Juliet Snowden, Stiles White

Starring - Nicolas Cage

"Nicolas Cage plays a widower whose son is given a number of figures which was buried in the yard of an elementary school 50 years ago. After examining the sequence, he finds that it is a list of major disaster that took place in the world, and the final one is the near end of the world. Following on Hollywood’s almost sadistic and certainly over done trend of films about the end of the world, Knowing is a slow paced and somewhat megalomaniac film by director of I, Robot. The film doesn’t stand out, the screenplay makes it seem like any other mystery thriller with a bigger budget. Furthermore, the plot developments unravel too slowly and sometimes it just feels too dull."
