Good Idea, But It Never Really Delivered

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2009)

"Unbreakable" is a very mediocre film. I loved the idea for it. The concept of these two people having superpowers and the means that they go to discover them makes for an interesting plot, but the movie itself does not end up being as good as I hoped that it should have been.
This film seemed to be a bore for me. I did not care for Jackson's character and I can't say that I was too fond of Willis' either.
The fact that Elijah is the culprit of the accidents and is the villain to David, the hero, is something else that would seem to be a good twist, but it doesn't really come off that way. Instead I kind of found myself not to really care.
I wish I could see the same idea for a film, but to instead use a different plot and different director. I think "Unbreakable" had a lot of potential, but it just never found its rhythm. If someone asked me whether or not they should see this movie, I'd tell them to pass.
