An almost great movie that needed more work on the ending.

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2001)

This movie was almost great. It was very good, but when compared to Shyamalan's other big hit, "The Sixth Sense", I get the impression it could have been better. Just like in the other movie, there is a good twist that's hard to predict. But at the same time, it felt abruptly finished. This movie could have been as great as "The Sixth Sense" if more time would have been spent writing the ending. Don't get me wrong, I highly recommend this movie. That is my only real negative criticism. It was nice to see Willis in a movie that isn't filled with guns and explosions. I hope he continues to take roles like this one and "Sense", movies that require serious acting. With these two movies, he's off to a good start at becoming a serious actor
