M. Night Shyamalan is a genius

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2000)

Unbreakable is a strange movie to love. The film's plot is so ridiculous that it's laughable. If this plot had been thought up by anyone but M. Night Shyamalan this would have been a bad movie. But, M. Night Shyamalan wrote, produced, and directed this so the movie is in good hands.
First off, if you haven't seen the movie before, stop reading these reviews now! Turn off your computer and don't watch Access Hollywood. Not only the ending is a surprise, but the plot is one too! I'm not going to give it away though. whatever you thought the movie was going to be about in the trailer, THIS AIN'T IT! I mean that in a good way.
Well, I always give the bad with the good, so here it goes. The ending seams rushed. When I say ending, I mean the VERY ending, right before the credits role. Don't stop reading, I'm not giving anything away. At the very end of the movie there are these (for lack of a better "technical" term) sentences which describes what happens to each character after the movie. You've seen this in many movies, often movies based on true stories. But, I found them annoying and unnecessary. They take away the fun of the movie! It's not what they say really, it's just that they're there.
Another small, small, picky problem I have is the movie is a bit dark and shaky. It may have been my local theater, but the movie seemed to shake a lot more than it should have been. And it is shot in dark colors, which isn't a bad thing but it does get hard to see things sometimes.
Okay, some more good points about the movie. Oh, I love the plot. I found this movie very intriguing and interesting. I love Elijah theory of "Everything fiction is made with some truth". I love it because I had the same idea! I didn't involve this, but it was close. Also, the acting is brilliant. I love Sam Jackson. The man does it all. And Willis is really good in this movie as well. The supporting cast has done a great job too.
Well, it all comes down to one thing, really. Was it worth $7.50? Yes, oh my yes. It's worth much more than that. Drop what you're doing now and go see this movie, even if you've seen it before. It's an interesting movie that is fun and entertaining. The twist ending isn't as big as the one on The Sixth Sense, but it's a cool twist nun-the-less. I just hope M. Night Shyamalan doesn't screw this up with Unbreakable 2 and 3 (which should be great sequels because this movie was just a setup for more movies anyway... IN A GOOD WAY!)But I'm pretty confidant that Shyamalan, Jackson, and Willis are professionals so and won't mess up this great, terrific, strange, intriguing, masterpiece.
8/10
PS: to those who have seen the movie, I love that poncho idea. It makes him look like a realÂ…. you know. LONG LIVE THE UNBREAKABLE!
