Great Movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2001)

I'd heard much about Manoj's first film ( who hasnt ???) but had never seen it ( Thats right & Scouts Honour !! ) so i went in expecting a good movie. By God.. was it ?? You bet. I'm a comic book fan ( Batman, may you live long !!! ) so i understood the references to the good over bad issue. But i'd not expected the sheer mastery of the medium that Manoj fleshes out from all aspects - from his characters : Bruce's restrained performance, Joseph's adoration for his father ( hey, i hope my kid likes me as much !! ), his wife's longing for a reconciliation, to Samuel Jackson's eccentricity; to his mastery in using light - black and color; to using music; to drawing audiences up the garden path with his plot and suddenly delivering the whammy - what a k.o that was in the end !!. Rarely do i feel an urge to see a film again to enjoy every aspect of it but surely, i will see the Unbreakable again! Now, on to renting The Sixth Sense as well !!
