I Couldn't Get The Sixth Sense Out Of My Head!!

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2000)

First off I'll say that this is not a bad movie. It's pretty good, actually. It's timing is just off. Had Unbreakable been released before that movie about the kid who sees dead people, we'd all be praising this one and critically panning The Sixth Sense. Shyamalan was caught in between a rock and a hard place. And so was I. The whole time I watched the film I couldn't stop thinking about The Sixth Sense
Undoubtedly, Unbreakable is similar to The Sixth Sense. The mood, the score, the editing, the slow paced storytelling, the surprise ending, and Bruce Willis' performance are all remeniscent of the creepy blockbuster. That one fault, lingered in the back of my mind the whole time I watched the movie.
I do credit Unbreakbale for it's intensity. I was drawn in by Samuel L. Jackson's powerhouse performance...He is truly great. Bruce Willis duplicated his mello Sixth Sense performance, which was ever-to-familiar but definitely appropriate.
I too gasped at the ending, and on my way back to my car, realized that this movie was a comic book story. Jackson's character makes that idea cleverly clear at the end...Good vs. Evil, Mr. Glass, Unbreakable....again, Jackson's performance was stellar.
The film was thrilling and ended so unexpectedly, that I couldn't believe the movie was over...I wanted more, but Shyamalan told me everything I need to know...
8/10
