'They called me Mr Glass....'

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2020)

How the hell do you follow The Sixth Sense?! With a pretty damn great twist on the superhero genre, that's what! Unbreakable focuses on the story of David Dunn (Bruce Willis) who begins to question his reality after he comes out of a train crash without a scratch on him. With the help of his wife and son (Robin Wright and Spencer Treat Clark) and a stranger with brittle bones Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) he uncovers an amazing secret. With beautifully shot scenes that blend together seamlessly and dedicated performances from everybody (one of the career bests from Jackson!) it's an engaging watch and one that also lingers long after viewing. It's so well paced; characters stories are developed wonderfully, you keep guessing right until the end and enjoy every minute of it! It doesn't quite have the immediate power and classic status of M. Night's previous film, but it is one that creeps up on you and I thought about it again days after without forcing it. A well written and subtle take on comic book movies, steeped in realism and it definately belongs in the great pantheon of superhero flicks
