Missed the mark

Rating: 1/10 (30 November 2000)

I saw The Sixth Sense over ten times, so of course the minute a new M. Night Shyamalan movie came out, I saw it. I truly expected better then what I got. Every scene had a new "trendy" camera angle, that frankly got tiring after the fifth one. Every scene was either shot from a reflection in a mirror, or t.v screen, or through a window. It would have had more effect if it wasn't so overdone throughout the whole movie. Also, too many aspects were like The Sixth Sense. Just like in that movie when something was significant, it was the color red. In Unbreakable, everything significant was a bright color, either red, yellow, or orange. And once again, M. Night made an appearance himself, I suppose thinking he is as clever as Hitchcock. What I listed above is not as bad as the ending. Of course I can't give it away here but it ruined what could have been an ok movie. Now it is just a disappointing waste of time.
