Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is an adaptation of a 2010 graphic novel by writer Pierre-Oscar Lévy and artist Frederik Peeters called Sandcastle. When asked what inspired him to adapt the book to film, director M. Night Shyamalan explained: "The book gave me the opportunity to work through a lot of anxieties I had around death and aging, and things like my parents getting older."
- GoofsThe nurse is surprised and shouts in a panic that the tumor is "attached to something". Tumors always develop from another tissue, whether it is an ovary, a muscle, a blood vessel, etc. so he should have been surprised if it was actually floating in the abdomen.
- Crazy creditsThe large font morphs from sans serif to serif.

Featured review
An often profound, sometimes stupid, but ultimately original thriller.
If you knew you were to die today, what would you wish to change about the way you lived your life?
This is one of the themes Shyamalan explores in this astutely-directed, mostly tense, high-concept thriller, and it does result in some genuinely intelligent, emotionally resonant character beats that I did not expect.
Unfortunately, some clunky dialogue, a couple bad actors, and too many repetitive scenes that seem to only stretch the runtime prevent this from being the great film that it could have been.
