THE SIXTH SENSE (1999) ***1/2

After watching this film I feel like I have only seen half of it. Luckily, no one had spoiled the film for me so I didn't expect certain cool things in this film. I won't ruin it for those who have yet to see it, but let me say this...to truly say that you've seen this film, you have to see it at least twice.

The acting was very good, in my opinion. Haley Joel Osment (the boy) was fantastic. Bruce Willis was also good, acting against his usual "tough-guy" type. M. Night Shyamalan has written and directed a very intriguing film.

The only thing I didn't like were the "startling" moments that made me jump. I much prefer suspense tactics that let the viewer in on what's happening, rather than being jolted by a sudden image and a loud sound effect.

If you haven't seen this film yet, I definitely recommend it. If you've only seen it once, you haven't really "seen" it yet.
