Unbreakable is without doubt a Shyamalan film, and that is not a bad thing at all!

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2006)

When I first saw Unbreakable, I was very impressed at Shyamalan'a ability to turn what would be a so-so story into a truly amazing film! When it comes to character building and laying out a believable plot, Shyamalan is truly a genius of sorts! I am one of the few who actually loved the Village a lot along with all of his other films, and I believe that it has a lot to do with the fact that his films are so compelling.
In so many words, the film is about a security guard named David Dunn and his slow realization that he is in fact a superhero! From those words alone, this film sounds like a cheesy 2 star summer action flick, but trust me, it certainly is not. In my opinion, Bruce Willis, and Sameul L Jackson turned in amazing performances. I was especially moved at how convincing Samuel L Jackson's take on O.I. was. If you ask me, the only real reason that the critics bashed this film is because it took a chance and did something creative with an otherwise stale story. The Acting, The Music, The Camera movement and editing style all contribute greatly to this film, and that is why I love it so much.
