This one may actually redeem the summer '99 movie season.

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 1999)

I, like many others, have been a little disappointed with the summer 1999 movie season. I had seen the trailers for this movie and decided to give it a shot. Once agian, in an attempt to bring in movie goers, they gave away too much of the movie in the previews. Luckily, this movie managed to be great despite this. Writer/Director M. Night Shyamalan gets his vision across. Bruce Willis shows he hasn't forgotten how to act in a movie that isn't all one liners and explosions. The supporting cast, including an unrecognizable Donnie Wahlberg, are top rate. The most impressive thing about this movie was Haley Joel Osment. This young actor made me believe he was living with this torment. It is a nice change of pace to see a young actor who isn't just a cute face on the screen. This young man can act, far out classing any one else in the movie. I look forward to more from him. The refreshing lack of special effects and an ending that will leave you slack jawed are a definite plus. I will be going back to see this one again.
