Shyamalan has made one good and one half-good movie. Both were a long time ago. Since then, he has struggled to find the right material, sometimes writing it himself, and then he expects us to put up with a whole series of nonsense, which he wraps up in pretty pictures, puts himself in front of the camera in small roles - Hitchcock sends his regards - and lets us take part in more or less half-baked stories that don't want to work. Split is one such example. Nothing is really right here. As a viewer, you constantly want to shake the three kidnapped girls yourself and ask when they will finally wake up from their passive apathy and McAvoy plays his characters to the edge of the bearable. Then there's the obligatory psychiatrist who thinks she has the inside track, and of course - unfortunately - the whole thing has to end in a horror show, which adds the finishing touch to the illogical story. No, for me this movie is a far too lengthy flop.
