the mother of all superhero movies to ever grace the big screen - an instant cult-classic

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2016)

To be witness to a truly excellent film is worth a moment's enjoyment - 'Unbreakable' is a feast. M. Night Shyamalan played the lottery by seducing his audience into believing his world hidden wonder and boy did he win the jackpot. He dramatizes a superhero's origin story in the real world accompanied to the sublime soundtracks of James Newton Howard and such gripping understated cinematography as to leave the viewer reaching in to cast off those 'real world' lead weights and voluntarily floating off into his world of wonder. That the dialogue throughout the movie between Bruce Willis' and Samuel L. Jackson's characters is based on the significance of comics alone would render this film an instant cult-classic following. I dare you to find a part of this film that does not hold religiously to what your inner nerd says a superhero movie entails! Forget frivolous expensive special effects - Shyamalan has created a masterpiece!
