I feel like a dead person

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2002)

I wanna start by saying what the heck was the Academy thinking nominating that kid for an award? Poor Michael Caine just got slapped in the face by being put up against that kid. All the kid did was sit in a corner, cry and say 'I see Dead People' and cry some more. And not to mention 'Long Unnecessary Pauses' makes another appearance here. (See Traffic review). And COME ON! The egomaniac director just HAD to make a cameo as a doctor.. for what? NO PLOT addition at all! He just HAD to stick his face in the film. He asks the mother if she beat the kid, when we all KNOW she didn't.. did he think that was a unique plot twist? Ye gods! Ok I will admit the final twist did get me. But really folks.. it's a creampuff of a twist when compared to the Usual Suspects or the japanese film, Audition (1999). I just think the general public is easily amused and everything is more intelligent than them, so they easily say "wow that was so innovative!"
Watch more movies people! You'll see the sixth sense is ALL hype.
