Puts the Human in Superhuman...

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2002)

With a storytelling skill that belies his credits, M. Night Shyamalan crafts superb cinema. His directorial approach is definitely deft, and UNBREAKABLE puts the "human" in superhuman in a decidedly dramatic fashion. Bruce Willis soars to new heights as the urban uberman. The story unfolds logically, the overall plan glimpsed here and there in tantalizing bits and pieces, as with any good mystery. And the questions at the heart of this particular mystery are answered satisfactorally along the way. Shyamalan never misses a beat. Only someone incapable of appreciating good drama (or superior filmmaking) could be disappointed.
