The Invisible (2002)

Sadly Over-hyped

Best movie ever!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I was bored a night several weeks ago, when this movie turned up on a channel when I flicked by. I missed a little bit of the start, but something in it caught my attention. It had something in it worth continuing watching. Maybe it was the "odd" gangster (Tuva Novotny) in her hood? And am I glad I watched it until the end. The story is very beautiful, sad, heartbreaking and emotion-gripping at the same time. It is amazing what the performers and the directors created out of such a small budget.The most amazing part in the movie for me, was still how cunningly you start having good feelings for the villain. Small, subtle changes and all of a sudden, you feel really sad for the "wrong" character.All in all, a movie worth watching, even for those of you who don't like subtitles, since you can still feel the characters strongly through their voice tones and body language.

The girl acting as a villain in this film is incredible. Her performance is powerful in it!! From the beginning of the movie, she is hated by everyone. I hated her, too as I saw her in this film. Toward the end of it, I Couldn't help but crying for her. The cruel surface of the girl covered the sweetest emotion trapped inside. She is lovely at the end!!!! How powerful her performance is!! The actress is Tuva Novotny. I will remember her name and expect her upcoming films in the future. By the way, the leading actor is really great, too. Gustaf Skarsgård is also excellent in Ondskan (evil). Certainly he is one of the most talented Swedish actor nowaday. Anyway Osynlige, Den is really a great movie. Watch this original one and skip the remake.

Being from Australia, not much news of Swedish films reach our shores. I had no idea about this one or the book it is based upon. I simply caught it while flicking the channels one day. It looked interesting, so I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did.I absolutely adored this film. From the outset I found the main actor, Gustaf Skarsgard, very intriguing. I was surprised to find out this was his first major film role, he handled it perfectly. Never over the top, never underwhelming, just right.I didn't pick the twist up in this film right away. I'm usually quick with those sorts of things, but it just didn't strike me that there would be a twist at all until it actually occurred. The feeling you get when it dawns just drums up the excitement and tempo of the film, when you suddenly realise that yes, there is something at stake here.I also loved the very unHollywood ending. This film turned all those cliches about - characters you were meant to hate were ones you ended up feeling the most for, and the 'friend' who you usually feel sympathy for ends up doing nothing but drawing out your anger. It's rare that the real villian of a piece (especially a female one) becomes a sort of hero towards the end, and it can be confusing. But for me it worked well, and added real dimension to what would have otherwise just been a good film, not a great one.The combination of great acting, real emotion and the eventual twist (or two) it what makes this movie so brilliant for me, and an instant favourite. Highly recommended.

I got to see this film at a the absolute premier..so the directors where there too. They were nominated for an oscar for best short picture in 2001. Now they have made there first long film.The movie is mostly about a boy named Nicklas. He is a smart man who is just about to go out school. He is being held down by his mother who has her way of his future don. But nicklas wants to go his way..but it's like he's invesable(the name of the film is "the inveceble") but he's about to be totaly invecible. When he gets beat up by the school gangster, a girl, he becomes inviceble. He's stuck in a state between life and death. and he tries to find his body.This is a VERY good movie..I think it will be oscar nominated next year. The acting is exeptional. The way it's been built, the easy way of showing that he can't affect the world around him is great. If you are not swedish speaking and want to see a very goodmovie(that your friends probably never will see) down load or in some way see it. It's a great movie from start to finish.(if you've managed all my spelling so far, then you can take the time to see the film)
