Another M. Night Shyamalan disaster

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2005)

What can I say... Points for Bruce Willis. Points for Haley Joel Osment. Negative points for insufferable auteur M. Night Shyamalan. Bad dialog, poor pacing. A "surprise" ending telegraphed well in advance. The gulf between the talents of the actors and the writer/director have rarely been so obvious.
I suppose if you like M. Night Shyamalan's work, you might like this as well. The only thing on his resume which would recommend him to me is as the writer of "Stuart Little" - and even that was hardly world-class!
If, on the other hand, you like the works of directors such as Steven Spielberg, Stanly Kubrick, Mimi Leder, or Joe Dante as I do, "The Sixth Sense" is a pretty poor waste of a couple of hours of your life.
