Simply Astonishing

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2000)

M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense follow-up, Unbreakable, is simply a sight to behold. The performances are breathtaking (particularly those of Samuel L. Jackson and Robin Wright Penn), the story telling is first rate, and the twist is wonderful. If not for some frustrating camera work from Shyamalan (and don't take this the wrong way, I'm referring to only a couple of scenes which hardly detract from the film), this film would garner a perfect score. Still, this is an astonishing piece of work. It is much more of a mature film, story-wise, than Sixth Sense was. Absolutely incredible. 9/10
