Odd Thomas (2013)
6/10
Worth once

Warning: Spoilers
NO SPOILER PART! I have never even heard about the books. This movie just jumped in front of me in the TV, so I said, why not, let's watch it. I thought I get some bad, stereotypical movie, but I was positively disappointed. The plot is good, the acting is too (but I didn't watch it in original language, so I can only talk about the visual acting), the CGI wasn't bad either.

About the characters, Odd is well built, Stormy is decent, the others are good, but could have been better.

It does worth a watch, and I will read the books.

What made the movie a bit worse, was that I couldn't get the "I'm watching The Sixth Sense with extras" feeling out of me.

SPOILERS FROM HERE ON! For me, the two cops (as characters) were not good. They weren't introduced well enough, and it was quite predictable, that one of them will contribute, and it wasn't that big of a surprise, that both of them were in it. But what was, is that there were four of them. It was a good twist.

And of course, the ending. It pulled the rating up to 7 from 6. I didn't expect that, I thought either Odd dies, or no one else, so it's a big plus.
