Still strong, yet not his best!

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2000)

Like Orson Wells, M. Night Shyamalan's first film was far superior to all his later, at least up to this point. Though Unbreakable was still quite good, it doesn't really hold a candle to Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense. The ambiguity of the trailers leaves the story open for anything to happen, which of course, it does. Not unlike The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan is masterful through every scene, with not only the story telling technique, but the unusual camera angles as well. Though, parts of the film to tend to drag on a bit, the theme of Comic Books is prevalent, and adds to the fabulously foreshadowed ending. Some viewers may be disappointed in the near sluggish pace, but many fans will not only appreciate the film, but will embrace it. Side note, a must for all comic book buffs.
