Not recommended after Kilbourn and before "Tricks and Clues"

Rating: 6/10 (4 April 2000)

The Sixth Sense ends with a twist that must have been thrilling to see for those who saw it unprepared, but that pleasure was denied me several months ago by TV's Craig Kilbourn, who purposefully gave it away for a laugh (I will not do that here). Beyond that, the director makes some interesting efforts at being stylish, but this too was partly ruined for me by his own somewhat pretentious `Tricks and Clues' commentary at the end of the video. As for the acting, Bruce was good but much more interesting in Twelve Monkeys and Haley has been overhyped if not overrated. And the overall story, especially the transitional section which precedes the twist, is weak and the pace is slow. Meanwhile, oddly enough, I still laugh at Craig Kilbourn.
