gripped by storyline

Rating: 7/10 (4 January 2001)

As the film evolved I was gripped by the storyline, and although the film was quite slow moving with another restrained performance by Willis, I enjoyed the directors development of the characters and plot. As I have seen Sixth Sense, I should have been ready for the twist at the end, but I was so involved in the film it came as a pleasant surprise, although more could have been made of revelation therein. I've talked to close friends about it, and opinions about it differed markedly they either enjoyed it or found it boring and unsatisfying. The acting was excellent and the cinematography faultless, the screenplay however could have been a visually a bit more interesting with the last scene extended to form a satisfying conclusion.
