But yeah, fuck the Sixth Sense. A complete borefest whose sole redeeming feature was that most people didn't see the twist ending coming. Started a trend that tapped the twist ending angle so dry that it's impossible for any movie to have one anymore, even smart ones where it would otherwise work; if Hitchcock were alive today he'd be screwed. Film makers started getting the idea that any movie, no matter how shitty, can be instantly redeemed by throwing in a twist ending.

As Fussbett has astutely pointed out, Identity is made a million times better when linked to Adaptation and Charlie Kaufman. Well, not a million times better to watch, but to sort of occasionally think about.

And even though your point is well-taken, using PotA as an example is a little cheap. I mean, no shit.
