Good Jobs by Shyamalan, Jackson

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2003)

When David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is the sole survivor in a train wreck that killed 132 people, he begins to realize that he is not the average person. He seems to never get sick, and is stronger than a man his size should be. Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), an eccentric comic book collector, is wheelchair bound after a series of injuries due to his unnatural fragile body. He believes that Dunn could hold the secret to a cure for his condition. Dunn brushes Price off as a nut at first, but as events in David's life start getting more and more odd, he starts to wonder...
This is a crime thriller with a sci-fi twist, but it is certainly more original than 99% of the other blockbusters coming out of Hollywood. M. Night Shyamalan does a great directorial job here. I wish I checked the names of the D. of photography and cintemotographer, too, because they certainly pulled their own weight.
And I must mention Samuel L. Jackson's performance, the man is just amazing. If he wasn't so publicly visible, he could be considered a character actor. He definetly steals the show whenever he's on the screen in Unbreakable. Willis, however, was somewhat dissapointing. I think he's a good example of what happens to a character actor when they start to get too comfortable with being in the public eye. He did some amazing work before Die Hard, so hopefully he will win my heart again with Tears of the Sun.
