Vastly Under Rated

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2004)

Loved Sixth Sense....Hated Unbreakable....Loved Signs....Went back to Unbreakable....Realised I was an idiot.
There are some movies which just don't grab you when you first see them. Why that is I'm not sure. Perhaps I spent the whole of the movie looking for a killer twist in the ending. Perhaps I expected more stand alone scenes. Perhaps I was just too set on what I wanted to see.
Get this straight. Unbreakable is not a horror movie on the lines of Sixth Sense, nor is it a Comedy Thriller like Signs. This is more a character study. This is a Super Hero story with depth. This is what we've always wanted.
Few Comic Book Films, bar Batman, have dug beneath the latex clad surface of the heroes. This does. Get the DVD, and watch this for what it is. I for one am ashamed of posting critical reviews of this film initially. Especially now that the Unbreakable Trilogy has been cancelled. I'm sorry for doubting you Shyamalan.
