Like lego toilet paper, _Old_ is pretty clunky and rubbed me all the wrong ways.

From the point of view of someone who probably likes M. Night Shyamalan a tad more than most people, I find _Old_ to be one of his weakest efforts.

The predictable script (surprisingly so, for Shyamalan) relies too heavily on the graphic novel (I really, really hope having characters state their names and jobs outright wasn't a device he thought of himself), looks cheap and, tbh, is poorly directed. Shyamalan's stubborn refusal to show us any of the action (try too hard for a PG-13 much?) ends up being more annoying than intriguing.

This combined with some dubious acting in lead roles (**not** Thomasin McKenzie, Alex Wolff, Abby Lee Kershaw, or Rufus Sewell who all turn in strong performances) make _Old_ weak, fragile, and tired.
