...these two sources of Islamic fervor now vying for possession of the newly transmuted Arab-Israeli dispute confirm the Bush Administration's view that, after a holiday from history in the 1990s, the global ideological struggles of the 20th century have been rejoined with a change only in the cast. In place of the ersatz Western religions of fascism and communism, radical Islam, bastard child of a real and great religion, has arisen.

...less-than-subtle move, Shyamalan adds a film critic to the cast of characters, all but shattering the fourth wall from the movie’s outset. But when the Lady asks Shyamalan’s character to do nothing short of—seriously—saving the world, ignoring the director’s metatextual presence is a lost cause.
