Unbroken.

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2016)

Unbreakable (2000): Dir: M. Night Shyamalan / Cast: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Robin Wright, Spencer Trent Clark, Charlayne Woodard: Director M. Night Shyamalan has created another masterpiece that is every bit as compelling as The Sixth Sense. Bruce Willis is the soul survivor of a train wreck that leaves him unmarked. He is a security guard at a stadium where he use to play football. There is a card on his windshield from "The Limited Edition Art Gallery" that specializes is comic superheroes. Samuel L. Jackson owns the gallery and questions Willis on his inability to get sick. Jackson was born with a fractured skull and his bones break easily. Tremendous performances from both Willis and Jackson among their best work since Pulp Fiction. Willis can sense wrongful acts just by bumping into people and what he discovers climaxes the film to great effect. Jackson is equally good with a great childhood back story. Robin Wright plays Willis's wife who is given a wonderful back story that allows her to elevate above conventions. Spencer Trent Clark plays his son who will learn a thing or two about superheroes. Charlayne Woodard plays Jackson's supportive mother who encourages her son to face his condition. Fascinating thriller in its examination of superheroes and human limitation. It also stresses that heroic people exist in everyday life. Score: 10 / 10
