A Jaw-dropping denouement.

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 1999)

As I was watching the opening credits and the words "Directed by M. Night Shyalaman" flashed on screen, I wondered "whozzatguy?". Well, I guess everyone knows now.
It's nice to see that Mr Willis is maturing as an actor, and is starting to show a knack for sympathetic characterisations. But, Man, Haley Joel Osment--what a find. I don't think I have ever seen a more mature, forceful performance from a child actor.
To cap it all off, the final plot-twist is an even bigger jaw-landing-in-your-lap surprise than the one in 'The Crying Game'. DON'T DARE LET ANYONE GIVE IT AWAY BEFORE YOU SEE IT.
Sense-ational -- 9/10
