An untypical superhero story

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2008)

Unbreakable is one of those great movies that tells the story of the 'real' superhero in our time. The real superhero is a human being with special gifts. How he copes with them is a very interesting premise.
Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson was great in this. The atmosphere was perfect and overall a great story.
The film marks the beginning of a superhero, the discovery of one's own power and how one's life is transformed because of it. In this case, Bruce's character have tried to suppressed his own true nature all his life in return for the love of a woman. He lives his life with some nagging feeling that there is something more. When he meet's "Mr. Glass", he begin to realise that there is indeed more, much more waiting for him.
Highly recommended for any comic book reader or those interested in real superheros.
