It's hard for many people to believe that there are extraordinary things inside themselves, as well as others. I hope you can keep an open mind.

Unbreakable is 'A suspense thriller with supernatural overtones that revolves around a man who learns something extraordinary about himself after a devastating accident.'
I wasn't sure what to expect with this film. I knew the plot, I knew the actors but it was the Director that confused me the most. What kind of a superhero film will Shyamalan bring to the screen? Let me just say, it was fantastic!
M.Night Shyamalan's efforts were great! His work is nothing short of spectacular. He appears to have his own voice when telling a story through film and it's fantastic. His vision was outstanding and the film's tone couldn't have been more 'down to earth'. The Cinematography was the aspect that hit me the most. The camera angles, focusing and movements reminded me so much of a comic book. An example is when Samuel L Jackson's character receives his first comic book from his mother. The camera work in that scene was incredible and comical. It is something you have to see for yourself.
The cast wasn't anything special besides Samuel L Jackson's performance. Jackson has proved to me time and time again that he can play any character he chooses. I bought everything he was saying. The character he portrays is so unique and interesting. As a comic book lover, you see his determination to solve Bruce Willis' character's dilemma. Bruce Willis' efforts on the other hand didn't attract me in any way. I didn't see anything different or out of the box with his performance but I believe that was the point. He was ordinary. Just like every comic book hero's alter ego. His character is an everyday Joe and that is where Bruce Willis' performance thrives.
The Score helped in the Thriller aspect of this picture. Since this is a M.Night Shyamalan film, you know there is always going to be some 'out of the ordinary' twist and the music creates that emotion through the film. It's brilliant.
Unbreakable is a fantastic film but I have read some hate towards it. If you are looking for an 'Avengers' or 'Amazing Spider-man' flick then this particular style of story telling isn't for you. But if you admire a super hero film with deep and twisting writing with amazing and unique characters then you will enjoy this film
