I'm still under shock

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2001)

Wooow wotta great and unexpected ending :) Don't worry, you can keep on reading this comment, i will not spoil it for you... "Unbreakable" is a very good film. M Night Shyamalan proves to every one of us that the great "Sixth Sense" was not just an accident, and that his talent is huge.
Unbreakable is an impressive story about life, but, more importantly, about heroes. When David (Bruce Willis) survives a train crash in which 131 people die, Elijah (Samuel L Jackson) comes up with an incredible explenation: that Bruce might be a hero. The exact opposite of Elijah, who has a bad bone disease.
That's all i'm going to say about the subject. Bruce Willis does a very good job in, probably, his third great role ever, after 12 Monkeys and Sixth Sense. He gives a certain depth and believability to his character, a possible hero, in Elijah's opinion. Samuel L Jackson is, as usual, awesome. He is definetely one of the best actors in Hollywood nowadays.
The psychological conflict is strong, giving birth to some great scenes. And, as i said, the ending is very surprising - i never expected that.
Maybe the best thing about Unbreakable is that Shyamalan doesn't fall in the "action" trap that many people thought he would. He makes a film about heroes and bad guys without any action sequences. Well, only one, even that one short and realistic. Good job.
All in all, a great film, a great start for a year that hopefully will be better than 2000.
Vote: 8 out of 10.
PS Please stop comparing this movie with The Sixth Sense. They have nothing in common one with the other, except for the director and Willis. I read in a magazine, in an article about this film: "Unbreakable: the sequel of The Sixth Sense". They couldn't have been more wrong! The 2 films are totally different, and both are great. I love The Sixth Sense more, though...
