Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A Sixth Sense wannabe for teenagers, The Invisible is a loosely adapted remake of the 2002 Swedish thriller Den Osynlige, and begins with a promising supernatural scenario: When wealthy teenager Nick Powell (Justin Chatwin) is nearly beaten to death by his sullen, alienated classmate Annie Newton (Margarita Levieva) and her tough-punk friends, he's left for dead and his disappearance draws the attention of local detectives while his widowed mother (Marcia Gay Harden) remains in a grieving state of shock. But Nick isn't dead yet, and now his invisible spirit is roaming among the living, struggling to prevent his own death while fixed in a state of metaphysical limbo. Can he be seen and heard by some people, but not others? Even though he's essentially a ghost, can he influence the physical world around him? Can he lead police to discover his near-dead body? Can he save Annie from the fate that awaits her? These are questions that The Invisible struggles to answer in a muddled, inconsistent screenplay that fails to play by its own rules--it's just one unconvincing scene after another, devoid of suspense or supernatural thrills. It's anyone's guess why director David S. Goyer (a successful screenwriter whose credits include Blade and Batman Begins) was drawn to this weakly plotted story, which is derivative, illogical, and overly melodramatic. That may explain why The Invisible vanished after its brief theatrical release, destined for a long shelf-life on DVD. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - so-so teen thriller
**1/2
"The Invisible" employs a premise whose cinematic pedigree extends all the way back to "Carnival of Souls" in 1962 and which reached its apogee of commercial success with "The Sixth Sense" in 1999. The idea goes something like this: a character is killed but returns to the land of the living, initially unaware that he or she is already dead. Usually this involves not being able to communicate with the people around him, a situation that can lead to a great deal of frustration ... Read More
Rating: - The Invisible
This movie was in the same genre as The Sixth Sense, but neverless well done. Again, I bought the movie because Alex O'Loughlin was in it and even though his role was relatively small, he was great. The story was good, not great, because it had been done before, it was light watching.
Rating:  - Will somebody please pass the tissues already?
For the first few minutes of The Invisible, if you're anything like me, you'll spend it racking what (little in my case) brains you have to try and figure out who the actors are. But by the end of the movie, you're too busy trying to hide your face and figure out exactly where you started crying to care anymore.
The Invisible is about a talented young man, Nick, who has a promising career in front of him when he gets out of school and a writer's course in London, if he could get away ... Read More
Rating:  - A Schlock-Fest Mess
If you were a film maker and happened upon a bad premise that ended just as bad as it started, you'd probably want to hide. And thus, I believe, is where THE INVISIBLE received its true title.
Based EXTREMELY loosely on the 2002 Swedish thriller DEN OSYNLIGE, The Invisible is so wrought with problems as to be sadly laughable.
First let's look at the premise of the film. A nearly murdered boy named Nick (Justin Chatwin, Weeds) comes back to `life' ...but doesn't. He's a ghost ... Read More
Rating: - bait & switch, heavy-handed metaphors
We saw this after being very intrigued by the previews. Unfortunately, as it turns out, the previews had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the movie. Okay, that's an exaggeration. The premise shown in the previews is what has nothing to do with the movie. "How do you solve a murder when the victim ... is YOU?" has nothing to do with the movie. There's no murder, there's no mystery. What there is, is a heavy-handed metaphor: kids feel invisible.
Nick Powell (Justin Chatwin) is a high ... Read More
