pastiche formula

Rating: 3/10 (29 September 2000)

SPOILER ALERT I cannot believe that this was so highly commended by others. The phrase of Latin which meant *nothing* to the plot, the ineptitude of a man who, after a year of trying to eat or go to the bathroom without avail, discovers that he is a corpse only through a child, are only two of the many silly elements in the plot. A cute kid actor and a committee-written plot certainly seemed to play well with the public, but when you look beneath the hood, there was very little there. Fight Club, for all its own inconsistencies, had much more to say to the soul. This is where the best version of Sixth Sense lies.
