Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2019)

This is the first movie, in what ended up as a great trilogy. I am unsure if that was M Night's idea from the start, but it works. This is the story of David Dunn, not the alliterative name, that is the sole survivor of a train crash. He is contacted by the owner of an art gallery that sells works based on comic book art. Elijah Price, who says the kids called him Mr. Glass is excellently played by Sam Jackson, as is David Dunn by Bruce Willies. These two actors give their respective characters such appeal and authenticity. I digress, Elijah works on convincing David that since he survived the train crash unscathed, that perhaps he is a real life super hero. David begins to believe this and explores what this means.
This is an extremely slow paced movie, but that is ok, this story could not be told any other way. Do not watch this thinking it is going to be like Thor, or Iron Man. This is not for everyone, but rather for those of us that grew up reading comics, but also enjoyed such things as Dante's divine trilogy. This is by far, as of this movie's release date, the best of M Night's work.
