I saw a wonderful movie last night, all the more wonderful for being a complete surprise as I didn't expect much from it going into the theater. Bruce Willis's _The Sixth Sense_ is a psychological thriller that may or may not be a ghost story (the ambiguity on this point is important for much of the story). Bruce Willis gives a very good, understated performance, but the person who steals the show plays the role of a boy named Cole. He gives the best performance I have ever seen any kid give.

I don't want to say anymore about the movie because the ending is one of the biggest surprises I've seen in a film. It'll simply knock you flat.
