Criminally Overrated Film....

Rating: 3/10 (28 January 2000)

The Sixth Sense is an average film with an excellent gimmick ending. I enjoyed watching the film quite a bit, and the ending came out of nowhere and really blew me away, however, in retrospect, and upon my second viewing, the film did not. It emerges as a slow moving film with a few high points and several lows, Bruce Willis acts tired and the lazy screenplay relies too much on its over confident ending. Don't get me wrong, The Sixth Sense is a good film, but not a great one by any means, and has no right to be regarded as a horror masterpiece, that is just absurd. Check out Kevin Bacon's Stir of Echoes, a similar films executed much better.
