Still a Good Movie Even Though I Knew the Twist

Rating: 8/10 (19 April 2015)

The plot twist in this movie doesn't really come as a surprise nowadays. Who doesn't know it? It's kind of like Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father; an obvious known fact to everyone even those who haven't seen it. Was the plot twist spoiled and somewhat disappointing knowing it beforehand? Yes of course. But did it spoil the entire movie? No.
The story was very unique with brilliant writing and an amazing performance by the child actor Haley Joel Osment. It was truly remarkable to see the skill and depth of talent from a 10 year old. The relationship between him and Bruce Willis's character just worked perfectly. The film was haunting and sentimentally touching, though it would have been better if it was mysterious too (because I already knew what was going to happen). Overall a combination of great acting with a captivating story.
