A Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (13 January 2001)

I don't see a lot of movies in the theater, but I liked The Sixth Sense and hoped that this would also be a quality movie. It was enjoyable, if quite slow, until somewhere near the end when the minimal plot just ran out of steam. There was also a ridiculous scene involving the family's son that was completely out of place and just silly. As for the ending... it came off cheesey and fake. The writer didn't cheat on it, but it was very poorly executed. It looked like the director ran out of money (ha ha) and had end this slow crawl of a movie immediately. It looked like a first draft. Several people in the move laughed and several others made fun of it out loud. Suffice it to say that the movie was decent but the ending is simply LAME and cheapens the whole thing.
This movie was two strikes, one more and this writer/director is out.
