M. Night Shyamalan directed this superbly crafted tale that stars Bruce Willis as Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist who has an eventful night where he receives an award, then is shot by a disgruntled ex-patient(played by Donnie Wahlberg). Later on, he is assigned the case of a young boy named Cole Sear(played by Haley Joel Osment) who claims to see ghosts which terrify him(and alienates him from his schoolmates), which troubles his disbelieving mother(played by Toni Collette) while Malcolm tries to reconnect with his wife(played by Olivia Williams). The truth of the situation will come as quite a shock to Crowe by the end... Chilling film with outstanding direction and performances(particularly Osment, who is superb) and a smart script. Astute viewers may see the final twist coming, but that doesn't lessen its impact.
