Absorbing

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2000)

Though after seeing this film I didn't come out quite as impressed as some of my friends did it is still a very good movie. Bruce Willis turns in a surprisingly intelligent, gentle performance and is matched step for step by Haley Joel Osmont, who shows what child actors can do if they are both good and blessed with a decent script. The well-documented twist at the end, though not that well filmed in itself, is still the best since 'The Usual Suspects' and as a result one really done need to watch it twice.
