Haley's real breakthrough

Rating: 9/10 (5 November 2005)

Yeah, this one is definitely a "must watch". The movie has gained some sort of legendary status already. It is the first movie in which Haley Joel Osment was able to present his acting skills to a broad public that applauded him frenetically. He is sheer brilliant, no doubt. In my eyes, Haley leads the table of outstanding all-time performances by any young actor, followed scantly by Elijah Wood. This movie has suspense, it has frightening sequences, it has mystery and thrilling crime aspects, all of these superbly converging on Haley Joels' character. It is his very own personal ability to show emotional feelings and assign them on to the viewers that makes his performances so authentic and sensational.
