Ignore critical reviews-see this for yourself

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2000)

After reading two opposite reviews of this movie, I stopped looking at any further reviews until I saw it for myself. When I went to see this movie yesterday, I tried very hard to watch it without making comparisons to "Sixth Sense." I found "Unbreakable" to be a very slowly-paced film that deeply rewarded me for being patient. Yes, the camera work was masterful, especially the scene where Elijah falls down the steps. And yes, the ending was a shock that put the precedings in a different perspective. But, for me, the greatness of this film was its provocation of a discussion between my wife and I concerning the depiction of good and evil in the film. On this day after viewing the film, I find that I'm haunted by the movie. If I find any comparison with the "Sixth Sense," it's that repeated viewings will only deepen the experience for me.
