Excellent Film Despite Lack of 'Surprise'

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2000)

I would have to say that The Sixtth Sense ranks right up there as being of my favorite movies of 1999. But the fact is, as soon as I heard that there was a surprise ending, I made a guess as to what it was. And as I sat at the theatre watching the movie, I started nodding to myself that my guess was indeed acurate. All being said, the Sixth Sense was quite spooky and did create a wonderfully eerie type atmosphere. The writing was wonderful as writer/director M. Night really got into the minds of the characters. Plus, this film probably serves as a classic character study and makes you question the world around you. Well done M. Night, Bruce Willis, Haley Joel and the rest on a job marvellously done.
