On the right track!

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2001)

M. Night Shyamalan created such a stir with the surprise ending of 'The Sixth Sense' that 'Unbreakable' seems like a difficult encore to execute properly. But Shyamalan does it beautifully. By building a slow burn leading up to his latest revelation, Shyamalan doesn't TRY to top 'The Sixth Sense' and that's what makes 'Unbreakable' quite good. Samuel L. Jackson is the MVP here, a cross between eccentricity and chilling horror. Bruce Willis is good as the average blue collar man like he's done so well before. The movie is like a slow funhouse/horror house tunnel. The slow pace works because there is so much to fill your mind with as everything becomes clearer and clearer like a jigsaw puzzle being filled in by a pro. 'Unbreakable' is one for the cult/buried treasure files as it will be appreciated more and more as the years pass.
