Expect the Unexpected.

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2000)

Once again, M. Night Shyamalan has created a true vision committed to film. While I wasn't incredibly astonished by "The Sixth Sense" the way everyone else was, especially the Academy, I still agree it was an original and well-done film. Shyamalan has a knack for creating believable characters put in unbelievable, yet plausible, situations.
Going into "Unbreakable" I expected a supernatural thriller. While the film was supernatural it was nothing like I expected. Shyamalan produced, wrote, and directed this completely original work of film art. I am a huge fan of original work and M. Night certainly delivered.
Bruce Willis plays a Temple stadium security guard named David Dunn, a man who was traveling home on a train when it derailed due to a mechanical functions killing every passenger except Dunn, who wasn't harmed at all. Obviously, this has quite an impact on Willis' character who is searching for some type of answer. Elijah Price, portrayed brilliantly by Samuel L. Jackson, is a comic collector in Philadelphia who believes he has the answer to Willis' question. Read what you want from this little bit I have given you but I can say no more. It will simply ruin all the fun and brilliance about the first viewing of this film.
M. Night has one-upped himself with "Unbreakable", a far superior film to his 1999 monster hit "The Sixth Sense". I was quite pleased with this film and it ranks up there with "Gladiator" and "Billy Elliot" has one of my favorite films so far this year.
9.5/10
