Good vs. Evil, but you couldn't tell.

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2000)

Samuel L. Jackson has done a lot of movies and in them he has been at least fair to fairly good. With this movie he now ranks as my favorite and most admired black actor and I can't wait to see what he does with his character (he surely must get dusted, by an older Ankin or would it be Vader) in the upcoming Star Wars movie. He plays this guy in "Unbreakable" like a fine magician and at the end of the trick you slap your head and wonder how he he did it. He deserves an Oscar!
Bruce Willis does his usual, working hard to convey his character's personality and is quite good. It could be due to David Dunn's lack of personality or for that matter wisdom that people mistake for Bruce Willis poor acting.
The story is much different from "Sixth Sense", but done brilliantly as well. Don't get into the traps of thinking this is another "Sixth Sense" or that we are dealing with just comic book characters. We are dealing with a what if ... weak seeks out the strong and/or evil searches for good. Well worth the trip to the theater and the time.
Without Samuel L. Jackson's performance this movie is lost.
