Over-rated

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 1999)

Okay. I have to give the film the fact that the main actors in Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment give great performances. And the first time I saw the movie, I liked it a lot. However, upon second viewing, I have to say that it bored me. The movie creeps along slowly, there is not much of a plot, and the scares are not really effective but just to make the viewer jump. Of course the ending loses a lot of its impact on the viewer, so that lowered my opinion a lot. It is a well-crafted movie, but the film drags way too much. The ending should not influence the opinions of people about the movie as a whole, which does not contain much substance.
