Great movie ... but

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2000)

I think M. Night Shyamalan made a very good movie with his creation and direction of 'The Sixth Sense' but it could have been better. It was like a masterpiece painting but you can't put a mustache on a Mona Lisa and expect it to work ... other's may still find her attractive but I'd be at least mildly turned off.
If this movie is viewed from front to back and immediately forgotten all is well and you will feel you've gotten your money's worth, but if you think back you will find many logic holes in the premise. The movies' "rules" (which are explained after the credits in a postscript trailer on the tape by Shyamalan and others) left me with the feeling that there was an attempt going down to distract me from thinking too much about what I had seen, or not seen, in the movie. All the rules were explained except one, and it was "the big one" which others have mentioned in their comments as well. I would agree with anyone who would say that fixing these holes would be a prodigious undertaking but I think it was possible and should have been attempted.
From an entertainment perspective this movie was great but that facial hair (logic holes) should have (and could have) been shaved off - and it would have been perfect. Overall I'd recommend it ... just don't think about it too much afterwards and you'll be OK.
