Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

rebeccax5 This movie is M Night Shyamalan's best film. And after seeing it again tonight, my opinion is reinforced. it really needs a sequel! Or more than one.I've liked a few other Shyamalan's film, but this one sticks with me, more than the rest. I love the pace...and the music.

majanikolic-37247 This movie had great actors, interesting idea, and from that I thought that a movie would be great. But no, the writing is wrong, the scenes are boring and almost nothing happens the entire movie as the movie is just streched a long the way. I know it says that this is drama but seriously you had a great actors, great idea and you made almost nothing from this movie.

Woodyanders Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan wisely eschews big splashy special effects and elaborate action set pieces in order to bring a more low-key, thoughtful, and even melancholy sensibility to the concept of the super hero. Average blue collar security guard David Dunn (a strong and subdued performance by Bruce Willis) miraculously survives a train wreck that kills everyone else on board. David is encouraged by physically frail, but extremely persistent and fiercely intelligent comic book aficionado Elijah Price (superbly played with sharp wit and quiet intensity by Samuel Jackson) to question exactly why he didn't perish in said disaster. Shyamalan grounds the inspired and intriguing story in a plausibly drab and gloomy everyday working class reality. Moreover, Shyamalan uses the fantastic premise to smartly explore the provocative themes of realizing one's heretofore untapped full potential, the need to know precisely why you were put on this earth, the burdensome responsibility those endowed with special abilities have to use those powers for good, and how the forces of good and evil tend to be total physical and spiritual opposites. Willis and Jackson do sterling work in the lead roles; they receive sturdy support from Robin Wright as David's estranged wife Audrey, Spencer Trent Clark as David's awestruck son Joseph, and Chance Kelly as a train station custodian who does home invasions on the side. Kudos are also in order for Eduardo Serra's sumptuous widescreen cinematography and James Newton Howard's majestic orchestral score. An excellent movie.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Unbreakable (2000)' feels especially apt and refreshing now that the superhero genre has been so over-saturated and has been accused by many as having started to 'run out of steam', but this feature actually arrived at a time when comic-book films were still finding their footing and so the fact that it cleverly subverted and provided a commentary on their tropes and themes is almost genius. The feature is a remarkably entertaining and wonderfully enigmatic one, a thriller that maintains an assured pace and builds a genuine emotional connection to all of its incredibly realistic characters so that we genuinely care about each and every one of them, which means that you're never quite sure exactly where it is going to go. Each movement of the plot feels incredibly natural, though, bolstered by phenomenal performances and an incredible script. The movie's overall effect is an incredibly powerful one. 8/10
