Split

I haven’t been watching a lot of movies recently, but I did manage to watch Split.  I was wanting to watch that movie since I first saw the trailer last summer.   It was an interesting movie.  I really wish there had been more development of the characters.  The main character/focus is Kevin.  He has multiple personalities, 23 to be exact.  One of these personalities kidnaps a set of girls.  The movie then focuses on both the girls trying to escape their confines and the progression of Kevin’s  more shady personalities.  I wish there had been more development of the other personalities.  There’s the weird twist ending, typical of M. Night Shaymalan.  It would also be very interesting if they opened it up for a sequel.  I don’t know how well it would do, but they did leave a cliff-hanger ending that could be developed into a further story. I'm not usually a scary movie person, and I wouldn't exactly say this scared me.  It was more intense action and drama based fear than actually scary (like monsters or make you jump out of your skin scary); definitely not Sixth Sense scary.  I would, however, recommend you watch it at least once.

Jame McAvoy does an amazing job in this movie.  End of story.
