M.
Night Shyamalan proves himself to be a modern Hitchcock with "The
Sixth Sense," a movie about a young child with the ability to see dead
people.
Extremely effective in every way. Night's direction is suspenseful and
exciting. The audience never knows what to expect, and when it does
happen, it comes a shock. The script, also by Night, is full of so
many twists and turns, it should be confusing, but thanks to good
direction, it never is.
The acting is superb. Bruce Willis goes pst his usual tough guy
demeanor to play a depressed child psychiatrist who is trying to help
a troubled youngster (the very good Haley Joel Osment).
Scary without being bloody, and at the same time, touching, moving,
and fascinating. |

This is, I
believe, the highest rating I've ever given to a
Bruce Willis film. To be honest, I'm sort of
freaked about it. I've always considered Willis
an action star at best, a hammy over-actor at
worst. Here, he gives a remarkably sensitive
portrayal. "The Sixth Sense" also brings us the
young and talented Haley Joel Osment, and a
marvelous, understated performance from Toni
Collette as his mother. I never thought I'd say
this, but I really like this Bruce Willis film.
