Loved it - until the End

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2000)

Loved the dialog, loved the acting, loved the look - hated the ending. What was that? I'd go so far as to say that I didn't like the film because of the ending. I didn't understand it - I didn't want to understand it. It ruined the experience for me. I much prefered "The Sixth Sense" though the film made less of an impact getting to the end, the finish packed such a wild punch that it left me with an awe that lingers still. I would take "The Sixth Sense" over American Beauty as best film any day.
