Disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (15 November 2000)

Though not a sequel to 'The Sixth Sense', 'Unbreakable' was written and directed by the successful film's creator, M. Night Shyamalan. Bruce Willis is the leading man in both movies.
Unfortunately, 'Unbreakable' fails to break any new ground. Instead, it takes the screenplay formula established by 'The Sixth Sense' (deadpan acting by Willis, a series of odd events, dark atmospheres, etc.) and injects a new premise that is even less believable than the "I see dead people" theme of its predecessor. The film has a few interesting moments, but is largely derivative, contrived and painfully slow-moving.
The unexpected ending intends to shock, but is so far out there that the audience reaction was more of a "huh?!?" than anything resembling surprise. If you're a Bruce Willis fan, dust off your tape of 'Die Hard' and forget about this one.
