apparently a lot of people think the revelation at the end of this film be worth the trip to get there . i be not one of them . ( don not worry while i would not be give anything away . ) i do not think the comparison which have be make to hitchcock be apt at all . hitchcock normally put you on a slow boil and then raise the temperature until by the end youre scorching and stick to the bottom of the pot ( maybe i take that analogy too far ) . there be a lot to keep you busy in the typical hitchcock film and with an excite finale a a bonus . but in the vanishing there be so little to hold your interest . by about midway and i be wonder whether the film would end up like the usual suspect and where the end would force the viewer to re evaluate everything that have go before . but in that film your attention be hold until the twist . in the vanishing unfortunately and it an all or nothing proposition . the first 100 minute of the film have no merit of any kind theyre just setup for the big payoff . and for me the big payoff be in confederate currency .
