An emotional and physically tearing film.

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 1999)

The Sixth Sense, has quite the potential to be nominated for Best Picture come oscar night. You're probably asking why. Well, it's better than your standing Bruce Willis-Helps-A-Kid movie, because well it's not like that type of movie. "The Sixth Sense" is not at all similar to "Mercury Rising", which some people were saying before the film came out. Bruce Willis is probably in his best film role in years as Dr. Malcolm Crowe, the psychologist who's patient Cole Sears (Haley Jole Osment is wonderful as the young child, should get some oscar potential as well) has the ability, to, well, you know. Toni Collete is good as Cole's mother who wants to know what's wrong with him. Olvia Williams is also quite good as Malcolm's wife. The director and writer of the film, M. Night Shyamalan's script WORKS because of Cole's terrified vision. Cole enters another world with us, and we explore that world. Have I said enough? Probably so. But if this movie is nominated for awards at the forthcoming Academy Awards, I wouldn't be so surprised.
