A Waste of $4.50

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 1999)

After seeing the previews of "The Sixth Sense", I was itching to see it. The idea was great, the story seemed great. However, after sitting through this film (along with 1000 other people in a sold-out theater), I realize that there was one thing missing - interest.
I wish I had $1 for every person that was falling asleep around me. This film is the poster child for boring. Once again, they lured me in with awesome previews, took my $$, and kicked me in the ass. This film makes you feel like you have just been violated.
I DO have to say that the ending was unexpected, and the five minutes that made up the ending was decent. It doesn't, however, make up for a horrible film. What was Bruce Willis thinking when he read this script? I mean, Willis isn't the best actor in Hollywood, but he should have at least had the brains to let someone else suffer through this (well, I mean someone BESIDES the people who saw it ... we suffered the most).
I feel that I need to mention Haley Osment. This child can act. His character could not have been played any better by anyone else. His performance stood out and he should be recognized for being a glimmer of light in such a terrible film.
I implore you .... take the $5 and either rent a good film from BBuster or better yet, flush it down the toilet...because that's where it will go ANYWAY if you spend it on "The Sixth Sense". Wait until it hits video and borrow it from a friend when HE rents it.
"Frightening"? "A Thriller"? "Edge-of-your-seat"?
Not even close.
If you are easily disappointed, stay away from this film.
RATING: 1 out of 5
