M. Night is ahead of his time

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2000)

M. Night is already one of the most important directors in American
Cinema history. He is well on his way to being a master of his
craft, and with 'Unbreakable' he proves how far he is willing to go
to believe in his vision, even if many perceive this film to be "off" or
not that great. I think this is an unusual film, a special film, and a
rare film. It is beautiful, dense, deliberate, articulate, and haunting.

The bad buzz I have been hearing kind of reminds me of the buzz
that 'Vertigo' receieved when it first came out. "What the @!#%& is
this? " many said and balked at Hitchcock's masterpiece. That film
is now one of his most revered works, and one of his most
studied. I believe the future holds well for 'Unbreakable'. I think it is
ahead of its time, and it will be one of those films that young future
directors will talk about. "Unbreakable, man. that was the film that
made me want to be a director."
