Shattering-Moving-One of the summers finest entries.

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 1999)

Just left a sneak preview. A sold out show. A packed house. When the lights came on EVERYONE was weeping. I thought I was the only one trying to hide the sweeping emotional pull that this movie delivered. Yes its spooky (Very). Yes it's a slick production, a summer movie. But THE SIXTH SENSE unmasks itself in an ending that is totally unexpected and shattering.
The bad news, a glaring technical flaw about twenty minutes into the film (A boom microphone is CLEARLY visible in TWO shots) that drew a roar of heckles from the audience and came very close to wrecking the movie up to that point.

Even with this flaw, the film was STILL able to deliver a knock out-have to see it again to get the full effect-experience.
Makes me wonder...How could the film makers not SEE THAT MICROPHONE!
It looked ready to pop Bruce Willis on the head! It's hanging close to dead center of the screen for what seems forever! One scene, Willis ACTUALLY SAYS "I feel like I have something hanging over my mind". Yea, the boom microphone! Could they not re-shoot the scenes? Crop the picture? Re-move it digitally? They were simple scenes in what was happening (Room Conversation). If someone knows, drop a line.
For this reason ONLY I give it a 9 out of what would have been a well deserved 10.

See it with someone you love. You'll know why when the lights come up.
