Bad plot, bad acting, bad twist!

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2001)

Not being a fan of the Sixth Sense (I thought it was to slow and very obvious but a good story) I was hoping that Mr Shyamalan would keep the good and improve the bad. Unfortunately I was wrong.
What could have been a good, if slightly implausible, story was wasted in this film. A man suffering from a genetic disorder making his bones brittle believes that there is another end to the scale - unbreakable. Not a bad idea.
However we are then drawn, very slowly I might add, into the life of the hero and the film simply deteriorates from here. Samuel L. does his usual good job in a bad film but Bruce Willis as the hero is not only wooden but completely unbelievable as the dim-whitted David Dunn.
The fact that comics are used to explain the events in the latter part of this film is ridiculous. In fact the story may well be from a comic somewhere.
However it is not all bad. The camerawork early on is exceptional and the directing in general is very good, with some excellent sequences. If only Mr Shyamalan would limit his directing to other peoples ideas as he is most definitely not lacking in talent.
At least next time we get a film from Mr Shyamalan we will already know the plot format! So please please find a good plot to go with your good idea.
