The Sixth Sense, 1999
Righto, before we get underway this reviewer has to declare something. I love Bruce Willis, I believe Toni Collette is a very talented actress and I don't mind a sniff at M Night Shalalalalah.
However I hated this movie.
It felt the like watching two bottom of the ladder football teams run around the field clumsily, and by the time it came to the result, i was beyond caring.
Don't get me wrong, the M Night 'twist' is a corker but that's about all this movie has to offer. Willis is a cardboard cut-out of his usual self while I just hoped that Haley Joel Osment would join his 'dead people' (in hell, i suspect) for the duration.
There is no movie in history that depends SO heavily on its last 5 minutes to to justify the audiences' attention for the previous 102.
If you have somehow missed this, please run along to rent it ONLY if you are a fan of CBS dramas featuring Jeniffer Love Hewitt.
In a snapshot - poorly acted, amateurish script and at least unbreakable had samuel l jackson.
3/10 (2.9 for the ending)

I tend to agree. Although I did need to visit the toilet during the tent in the living room scene. This is my twist picking claim to fame as I remember leaning over to tell my companion - I think Bruce Willis is a ghost. Over the years the timing of said pick has occurred earlier and earlier in the movie until, at last retelling, I said it whilst buying popcorn in the foyer.
ReplyDeleteIf anything this flick introduced us to M. Night Shammy my car and as a result deserves a little more respect.
5/10

I got the shit punched out of me no more than 10 minutes after seeing this movie so my judgement is a little clouded. I don't think it's as revolting as Midders' suggests though.
