This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

David Goyer directs but does not write this remake of a Swedish film.Nick Powell (Justin Chatwin) is bright, well to do teenager who plans to move to London and get away from his cold, distant mother.His nerdy friend has borrowed money from some Annie and some high school heavies and they are putting pressure on him. Annie is a delinquent who is also involved in some stolen car ring.Nick gets attacked by Annie and her thugs as they wrongly believe that he grassed them up. Thinking he is dead they throw him down a manhole cover.Nick is not dead, he walks around school but no one sees him or can hear him speak. He realises that he is in some limbo but his body is still alive and he needs to get the police to find his body before it is too late.The film does not start out too great with many of the usual High School tropes and stereotypes. It gets interesting after Nick gets attacked but it is not a case of whodunit, we know who did it. It is more like Nick discovering why he in this netherworld and what can be done about it.The film tries to subvert expectations as we try to understand Annie the delinquent but we never really care for her or her problems. After all she did beat up an innocent guy and left him for dead.Maybe if Goyer had written this film we might had got a more interesting slant but it is a routine movie sold as some low budget independent type film mainly because of its soundtrack.

You think ghost movie and immediately images of an old house on a ruined yard, maybe off the regular path, comes to mind. Sometimes, you get the misfortune of having to deal with a sinister slobbering monster or a phantom serial killer who irrationally and illogically goes around killing the cast. "The Invisible" actually takes more of its cue from "The Lovely Bones," as a high school student plots to escape his neglectful mother and travel the world, but before that happens, he's picked off by his school's resident problem child and his body is dumped in a storm drain in the woods. That's where the movie picks up. The youth learns that while his body stays hovering near death that his body can watch and perceive the events of his murder investigation, but unlike real ghosts, he can't talk to or communicate with the living. Taking another cue from "The Sixth Sense," his actions on the spirit plane turn out to be illusions and don't manifest in the real world. Where is a psychic when you need one? Regardless of this limited premise, the film carries through the investigation of his disappearance and the enlightenment of both his character and that of his female antagonist. The action is picked up when the urge to find his body is motivated by its relocation to the local dam where it will be forever lost. It's a fast-paced engrossing movie with a compelling storyline accentuated with strong performances and few special effects, proving that Hollywood can turn out a decent movie about ghosts when it really tries.

when i first saw the trailer for invisible i thought it was going to be a thriller/mystery movie.i was wrong.but i liked it.the first thing i noticed about invisible was that the soundtrack and the movie really matched with each other.some of the scenes were really beautiful. justin chatwin as nick did a great job.in my opinion hes one of the most underrated actors of our generation.rest of the cast was amazing too.it wasn't thrilling or funny,but it wasn't boring to me.the main appeal of this movie to me was acting and dialogs.the invisible is not a great movie,but its a good movie with good acting and a nice story about lonely people.it had its flaws yes,including below average special effects,but that didn't ruin the movie for me my rating 7/10.

THE INVISIBLE is one of those movies which will leave the audience divided. There is no question about it, the movie has its flaws. The story could be more elaborate and the dialog and acting better. Still "The Invisible" will stay in the back of your mind.The strengths of the movie is its perfectly executed soundtrack, how it portraits family relations and the interesting characters of "Nick" played by Justing Chatwin and "Annie" played by Margarita Levieva.If you're looking for a action packed thriller/drama then this is not a movie for you. If you're looking for a beautiful portrait of what people are capable of in their darkest hour, set to a soundtrack that will give you goosebumps, then watch this movie.
