It's not as if "Unbreakable" is a terrible movie - far from it. The main problem I have with it is it makes absolutely no sense. Some of the performances, especially Samuel L. Jackson's, are great. However, Bruce Willis' attempt at a performance makes you long for his roles in the "Die Hard" movies or his role in "The Sixth Sense". It's a truly stiff, wooden performance. It reminds you just how much Willis is and should be an action film star only. And what did comic books have to do with anything that was happening to Willis? Is it to be implied that he is a modern-day Superman or something? I don't believe I understood the connection there. Call me stupid, but "Unbreakable" suffers big time. This is nowhere even in the league with "The Sixth Sense."
