Surprise! You won't guess the ending

Rating: Null/10 (22 August 1999)

"The Sixth Sense" is a well-acted film that provides perhaps the best surprise ending in movie history. It is a horror story that eschews excessive gore and overdone special effects, and instead relies on pacing, good direction and a solid screenplay in captivating the viewer.
Child actor Haley Joel Ozment and Bruce Willis are superb - Ozment as the tormented 8-year-old who sees "dead people walking around" and Willis in a beautifully understated role of the boy's psychologist grappling to help the child while helplessly experiencing the collapse of his own marriage.
The rhythm is sometimes a bit jerky and there are a few minor plot inconsistencies. But the masterful twist at the end makes up for any shortcomings. This is one of those movies that keeps your mind employed long after you've left the theater and gone home. If you think "The Usual Suspects" had a good twist, check this film out. You won't be disappointed.
