One of the greatest movies I've ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2001)

For those of you who haven't seen this (probably due to living under a rock for the past few years), you might think "Bruce Willis? This isn't a mindless action flick, is it?"
Well, nothing could be further from that.
Bruce Willis plays Dr. Malcolm Crowe, a child psychologist who has recently recovered from an attack by a patient he failed to treat. Needless to say, this leaves him unsure about his skills, but his encounter with Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osmont) gives him a chance to jump-start his career.
After a period of time trying to get on Cole's good side, Cole reveals his secret to Malcolm: he sees dead people. (Duh.) This changes their relationship dramatically...the patient is now the psychiatrist, treating the recently dead by completing their unfinished business, with help from Dr. Crowe.
The final scene is one of the most impressive twists ever shown in a film, ranking right up there with the Statue of Liberty at the end of Planet of the Apes. I'm not going to tell you the twist, but you might have guessed it by then. (The director certainly expected everyone to.)
Overall, this is a tour de force with Bruce Willis in the last role you'd expect to see him in, and a shining example of what modern movies should be.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
