Sharp as a Knife

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2000)

Not a scene in this movie is wasted. This is one of those movies in which you cannot afford to arrive at the movie hall late (as I usually do) or miss any of the scenes in between. And if you skip the end thinking that you know how it is going to end - well you have got another think coming. No, this is the type of movie you need to see not just once but twice in order to fully appreciate it. In the first viewing get the hang of the story. In the second viewing appreciate the nuances of the story. Manoj Night Shyamlan will go a long way if he makes his movies like this. And you will go a considerable way down the path of enlightenment if you watch a movie like this. Everyone in the movie acts well, but little Osment really comes out tops. Bruce Willis has proved that he is not just a high-octane action hero either. And once gain it proves the basic fact that the basic ingredient of a good film is a good idea.
