Ok, But It Could Have Been Better.

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2000)

M. Night S. tries to come up with a movie that will be similiar to his "Sixth Sense" but falls a little short. He sets up Bruce Willis' character and Samuel L. Jackson's character well enough, but they don't come together and make the audience feel like it did for Osment's and Willis' characters in "The Sixth Sense".
Although most of "Unbreakable" tries to set up Willis as someone who is going to learn a lot about himself, he only learns as much as the audience deduces in the first twenty minutes, and this leads to an anti-climatic ending, which brings the entire movie along with it. I think this is overall a good movie, and it has many parts in it that capture the audience's attention and make us wonder what else is going to happen, but the characters just don't have that feeling that they are learning about themselves like Willis and Osment do in "Sixth Sense".
If you liked "Sixth Sense" and want a movie a little slower and more low-key than "Unbreakable" is a must-see M. Night flick. I give "Unbreakable" 2.5 out of 5 stars.
