not as good as sixth sense, but not the same movie either.

Rating: 6/10 (12 August 2001)

WARNING: very minor spoilers! I've watched this film twice now, and each time, I come to the same conclusion: This movie, while written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan from the Sixth Sense, and starring Bruce Willis, this is NOT the Sixth Sense at all. This movie is MUCH slower moving, and while it does have a surprise ending, it is not nearly as surprising as the one from Sixth Sense. In this movie, Bruce plays a security guard at a football stadium, and he has minor esp. He soon meets up with the fanatic Samuel L. Jackson, who plays a man with brittle bone disease, and lives a life in comic books because that's what he did as a child because he spent so much time at home. He is under the impression that Bruce Willis' character is the opposite of him in every way, he thinks that bruce is as indestructible as he is weak. While the film SOMEWHAT gives this theory grounding, it in no way proves it, and makes Samuel out to be crazy. Over all, a good idea, but taken too slowly and without the action it needed. I gave it a 7 out of 10.
