One Trick Pony

Rating: Null/10 (2 December 2000)

Take away the moody photography and music, and much of Unbreakable would have been laughable. Surely the scene where the little boy threatens to kill his father has to be the low point, although the unintentionally funny line "friends don't shoot friends" will provide a chuckle you years to come.

The director has proven himself to be a one trick pony whose idea of film making consists of lots of gloom and pretentious trick camera shots. It might have made a decent half hour Twilight zone, but instead it dragged on and on.
And really, is there anyone who couldn't see the obvious ending far in advance?
But I'll admit that Bruce Willis did bear an uncanny resemblence to Silver Surfer.
