Enjoyable if disjointed...

...we've owned this film, 6th Sense and Signs as part of a triple DVD set, but it took until I caught a portion of it on TV to actually bother watching it on DVD properly.
Everything about it unfortunately lacks substance. You can never believe any of the characters (half expecting Samuel to turn around every 10 seconds and say "Do you know what they call a comic in France - 'Le big comique'." and Willis to do his "Yippie Ki Yay Mo.Fo's" never leads to any great suspense) and Spencer Treat Clark doing his best impression of the snivelling on trick pony Haley Joel Osment is just taking the biscuit.
It cuts and chases around with the camera in some faux CSI style, without any apparent understanding of the mechanics and what they achieve - often throwing the films pace.
But if you ignore that you get a reasonable attempt at infusing the comic world with the real world (not the other way around though) leaving Willis as something of a bemused passenger discovering the truth behind the universe.
Not that you ever really know the truth or anything.....s'all relevant.
