Don't read anything about the film (including this sentence) if you haven't seen it.

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2001)

There is no big twist at the end of the film; everything you've heard is a lie. Sorry, but if you're constantly hearing that there is this fantastic ending to the movie, you can pretty much guess what it's going to be  I mean the story is about a boy WHO SEES DEAD PEOPLE. Don't get me wrong it is really well done and even if you do figure it out, like myself (do I win a prize?), you may well forget it throughout most of the movie.
Bruce Willis plays child psychologist Malcolm Crow. After being shot (So, he was shot) by a former patient who he has let down professionally, he is desperate to help a young boy, Cole (Haley Joel Osment), who shares similar symptoms and has a habit of seeing dead people (So, the boy sees dead people).
The cast is strong throughout, although at times Willis has a misleading and out-of-place sinister expression.
The film isn't traumatisingly scary. The scariest moments are largely thanks to the excellent chilling music score.
The secret ending, as I said earlier, is very well hidden if you don't know there is one, and maybe even if you do, thanks to brilliant directing from Shyamalan. The scene at the restaurant is wonderfully done, and the crucial draw back after Malcolm being shot at the beginning is perfect.
8/10
