Life: a double edge sword

Rating: 6/10 (16 October 2010)

As "die hard" fan of both Bruce Willis and Samuel L.Jackson fan i was greatly excited to see this piece, since the last time i've seen them side by side was in Die Hard 3.
In a way i was disappointed by the progression of the film, since i was expecting a thriller revolving around more action ; however i forgot this was a M.Night Shyamalan movie.
Having said that, this movie has a slow pace, focused on the dialogs and the background of the main characters, recalling the events of the past which made who they are.
The story follows David Dunn, an average Joe in society. Be that as it may, he's not an ordinary man: and with the help of Elijah (Samuel), he unfolds the truth about himself, eventually discovering his purpose.
There's no doubt about the quality of the actors ; the plot is interesting but the screenplay could be more attractive, or at least less tedious.
It's undoubtedly a good movie , not a emmy winner, but still entertaining . The feeling i have is, though the story is M.Night's, the directing could have had other direction, mainly more unpredictable and more vivid. I'd say that producing a part II could also be amusing, should it be made differently.
In the end, one of them meets his fate and the other fulfills his destiny.
6.4/10
