Best movie of the year!

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 1999)

I don't get excited about movies too often, and this year I've been thoroughly disappointed, having shelled out the bucks to see Star Wars, The Mummy, and American Pie--all big duds! This is the best movie on the big screen since Saving Private Ryan, a true winner. Bruce Willis puts on his best show, possibly of his entire career. Osment is the best child actor I've seen since Tatum O'Neil in Paper Moon (1973). His ability to capture all of the idiosyncrasies of a frightened boy with the "6th sense", those characteristics we the naive would never think of, is unheard-of in a child actor. This movie has it all! It's a thriller, horror, a little comedy, romance that will make you cry. It's like Ghost (1990), taken to another level! It is WELL worth the overpriced tickets!!
