Clever, well-made, well-written and quite moving story

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2007)

The only good movie director/writer M. Night Shyamalan has done, The Sixth Sense is a clever, well-made, well-written and quite moving story. Bruce Willis is effective in one of his non-macho, non-action roles, playing a psychologist who becomes involved with a troubled young boy played by Hayley Joel Osment. This is also Hayley Joel's best film and the one that made him a top-notch child actor. Those halcyon days are probably gone for him after the abysmal Artificial Intelligence and later films.
One has to be careful describing too much of the plot of this film so I'll avoid doing that. Suffice it to say that this is a film that really holds your interest and the relationship that develops between Willis and Osment is very touching. The climax of the film is justly one of the most famous in all of film.
