Better than the Sixth Sense...but then most anything is

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2001)

Being very unimpressed by The Sixth Sense, which telegraphed the ending from the very beginning of the movie, I didn't hold out much hope for the next Willis/Shyalaman film...but Unbreakable did surprise me a bit. At least this time, I didn't see the ending coming. Of course, a "superhero" whose main ability is to let criminals exhaust themselves by beating him into a wall, and who's kryptonite is water probably won't have much of a career...and hopefully no sequels.
Samuel L. Jackson was, as always, excellent. He made Elijah an interesting character that you cared about, even if none of the other characters could hold your interest.
