eerie and thought-provoking

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2000)

Unbreakable is a worthy follow up to Sixth Sense--it won't gross as much, obviously, but it's much better than Blair Witch II. Shaymalan does a good job of establishing an eerie mood, and rewards your paying attention through the slow parts with a twist ending that should have you slapping your forehead saying, "Of course!" I figured out the twist in Sixth Sense early (honest!) but this one fooled me. Willis is a little too low key, but still gives a solid performance. Samuel L. Jackson is wonderful as always. I give it an 8, and look forward to Shaymalan's next film.
