Shyamalan at his best!

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2001)

David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is the only survivor of a train wreck. May he be immortal? And what about that strange behaving comic-art trader Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson)?
I have recently read an interview, in which M. Night Shyamalan said that he is inspired by Hitchcock movies. I guess Shyamalan has watched every single of his movies at least a thousand times. "Unbreakable" is a perfect thriller - without straining after effects, just a plot that is driven forward by the characters. Some reviewers said that it´s too slow, but that doesn´t bother me at all. "Unbreakable" is one of the less movies that really make you think. Death, immortality - you may call it a spiritual thriller!
Bruce Willis gives a wonderful emotional performance as the broken hero - and I hope this won´t be his last movie in this direction. Not to forget Samuel L. Jackson - he was outstanding! But only a fool would compare it with "The sixth sense" just because Shyamalan and Willis worked together again. The style of "Unbreakable" is similar, but that´s the only common point. A remarkable thriller!
