Admirable

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2001)

M. Night Shyamalan proves again to be a brilliant writer and director, this time, he did even better than The Sixth Sense, doing a much more human movie. Samuel L. Jackson shows what we all know: He is a wonderful actor. Bruce Willis also does good, which is due to Shyamalan, showing he does excellent directing with actors, he knows how to make them give their best performance. But what is really admirable about this movie, is that Shyamalan, with the success of The Sixth Sense, had the liberty to make any kind of movie he wanted. In every second of the movie, you notice Shyamalan's passion for comics. Just ask comics fans, everyone I know who loves comics (myself included), LOVED the movie. Shyamalan did this movie for the comics, nothing else, not caring if people would like it or not, and, to gain this kind of liberty to make HIS movie, is an extraordinary admirable thing. And I must congratulate Mr. Shyamalan for that.
