Ok, it ain't no 6th Sense. Started off very boring then had a couple of semi magical moments that could have been far better if it was better filmed. A bald headed(on top) Bruce Willis acted as though he was in a stoned daze throughout the movie. And the music at times sounded like crickets in pain but I guess it was suppose to make it moody.

Speaking of moody, there is the poor lighting used throughout the movie, it was hard to ever get a good look at anyone because of the shadows on their faces. The story, it might have been more interesting if it wasn't so boringly filmed and acted by all but Samuel Jackson.

Then the ending, aaaaah HUH? It came across like it was just thrown in at the last second. Nothing as good as The 6th Sense although it's just as shocking, just plain stupid though and made us hate the movie even more.

I like Bruce Willis but this one sucked. I wanted to see Vertical Limit, we should have.

I just saw it. I thought it was a very different and interesting movie. Had that kind of "unexepected/suspensful" feeling to it the whole time, hard to explain. I thought the story was very good, and just like the 6th Sense, it had a very unexpected ending. Overall, I liked it. It's probably not something that you would watch more than once tho...

...I have it on dvd and have prob.watched it 4 times in the last few months. What I liked about it was it's "theater of the mind " approach instead of a bunch of over emphasized special effects. If you like the experience you get from reading a good book you'll prob.like Unbreakable.............*&
