Unorthodox comic book film

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2019)

The slow, brooding nature of this film is wildly unique among the pantheon of comic book movies. The story is very character-driven and focused on subtle moments. There aren't action scenes every 15 minutes and it actually works in this film's favor. The twist is interesting, but doesn't detract from the everything that came before it and Unbreakable is strong enough to stand on its own without it. If you tire of action-filled spectacles in comic book movies, this gem from M. Night Shyamalan is one to watch.
