If You don't stop that"You're in Big, Big trouble!"

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2013)

This was back then, when there were High Hopes for Writer/Director Shyamalan and His second Film following the Very Good but not Great, The Sixth Sense (1998). Unbreakable is much better than anything He has done since. With abominable Movies like Signs (2002), The Lady in Water (2006), and After Earth (2013), by contrast, this is a Dark, Darn Good Film.
A different take on the Super-Hero Mythology it is intriguing and draws You in but some of the descriptions of Heroes and Comics that the Script pretentiously pontificates makes one wonder if M. Night ever held one in His hand let alone read very many. The complete misreading of Artistic Style explanations on why Comics are drawn this way or that is just embarrassing.
It is a Good Looking Movie although some self indulgence is glaring. Like a repeating Motif of upside down Camera Shots. What exactly that Symbolizes no one knows. Another irritating "Style" of the Director is to have much motionless placing of Actors and "deep meaning" pauses in Line deliveries coupled with a lot of staring and thoughtful, contemplative composing.
But it does deliver enough quirkiness to be different and diverting and may just be the best Film this Director will ever make. Ten Years later it seems so. But who knows? Stranger things have happened.
