Hated for it's originality.

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2000)

The first thing you should know and remind yourself when walking into this movie is that it is not the Sixth Sense. See most people who would go and see this movie are the same, depending if they liked it, who went to see the Sixth Sense. They'll probably say, oh Unbreakable was alright, and they would begin to compare it to the Sixth Sense.
People always say they want something original, but when filmmakers do this twice. It is looked upon with skepticism, why you may ask? The director is only giving the people what they want. But when they say they want something original, they mean one original film, and then blow it up into countless sequels, and commercial hell (Much like the Poltergeist movies.) I thank god, M. Night, is not as shallow. As most directors begin to be after the amount of success they have with their first film, which don't even come close to the success of the Sixth Sense. I think what makes him and his movies down to earth, is that he never forgets the essence of story telling. He knows the best way to tell a story is to have the story revolve around the characters, not the other way around. This is not a story about ghosts, and I think that people want to see another M.Night Ghost flick, thank god he didn't or I would be up here calling him a sell out. Which I'm glad to say in my opinion he is the farthest thing from, but he could have screwed up bad, and I think he knew it too.
Unbreakable, will surprise you, just like the sixth sense, with it's surprise ending. There is much more body to this new film, which most people won't notice. All in all, it' a great movie, very entertaining, I could talk about the plot and wreck the film for you, but I rather let you enjoy it. And I'm sure you will.
