High-concept comic book film, I love it!

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2004)

Directed by the genious that is M. Night Shyamalan, Unbreakable is, in a word, mesmerizing. Of all the films out there about superheroes/comic books/etc., Unbreakable is definitely one of the best. The story centers around a security guard named David Dunn (Bruce Willis), who emerges the sole survivor of a catastrophic train wreck. Soon afterward, he meets Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson). Elijah is convinced that David is some sort of superhero, "Put here to protect the rest of us." The film follows David as he tries to cope with Elijah's theories. When David comes to realize who he and Elijah really are, the effect is spellbinding. Excellent storytelling on Shyamalan's part. A beautiful story, masterful directing and camerawork, and a chilling climax make Unbreakable an unforgettable film. It's a shame that this film was so poorly recieved. The masses didn't know what they had here. Originally, this was to be the first part of a trilogy. I hope (though it's a fool's hope) that Shyamalan brings Unbreakable back to the fold. Absolutely brilliant.
