Unbearable

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 2000)

Just saw Unbreakable, and okay, maybe it wasnt unbearable, but I am very disappointed with it nontheless.
Words like boring, bland, flacid, dull and crap do come to mind, but I have to stress that it was the story I didn't like. The premise for the story is really bad, the story telling is really bad, and I was left, overall, with the bitter taste of dissatisfaction on my lips. M. Night Shyamalan is still proving himself, and I dont think this movie is going to help him. I'm sure that technically, the film was very good, with tight direction etc. etc. and the film did look good visually. The story however, was a load of c**k, the pace of the movie was all wrong (read: BORING!), and I sometimes got that sense of being lost in a twisty maze with no way out. People had been talking about the ending, and let me tell you, the ending is SO contrived and completely hokey! This was NOT The Sixth Sense, the Sixth Sense had a decent story, and was actually compelling and satisfying to watch. Unbreakable, on the other hand, is a joke and has a stupid story.
I laughed out loud at the end. I'm just glad I didn't pay full price to see it.
