Summary: Finally the genre gets the film treatment it deserves
Review: I have to hand it to M. Night Shyamalan for taking subject matter like this and not assaulting the audience with the usual overblown images of high tech weaponry impossible kung-fu and pyrotechnics.This is a movie about superheroes and villians but grounded in reality making it all the more intense and satisfying.This is almost certainly not going to be everyone's cup of tea but if you like fantasy and you like it presented intelligently(uncommon these day's)you'll probably dig this.

Summary: Through a lens darkly
Review: What a wonderful premise -- a superhero among us, one who cannot be hurt provided he avoids his personal "kryptonite". The story of his self-discovery, Unbreakable begins with great promise. But the film's ambience is so dark, so unrelieved of foreboding and anxiety, that even a momentary ray of sunshine near the end cannot relieve the dark feelings that the movie creates within us. Then, there is the ending -- the darkness becomes ... well, I guess you ought to see the movie, but I recommend that you rent the DVD before you commit to purchasing a copy. This movie is a true work of art, but there are some works of art that I don't particularly want to display permanently in my home.

Summary: what??
Review: I guess from the trailers that I saw this movie was not what I had expected. I would go as far that say it was horrible but I had a hard time finding the point of the movie.Samuel L Jackson plays a person who has very brittle bones, Bruce Willis plays a man who walked away from a train wreck as the only survivor. SLJ belives that comic book characters are based on real life people and has been trying to find BW by tracking major accidents to see if anyone survives. When he does find him he keeps trying to convince BW of his theory. Meanwhile the issues at home are kind of on the back burner and not really devloped. The ending took me completely by surprise, I was totally not expecting that twist. I certainly hope there is a follow up movie to clear things up and take care of unanswered questions some things were left up in the air.

Summary: Dreck!
Review: As in, "what a load of...". I think this is probably the worst movie of each of the main two stars careers...The build-up was corny and uninvolving, the supporting characters were too trivial, especially the worked to death quivering of the son's lip...Sheesh!...And the ending...Stupid and laughable... I love movies and give a LOT of leeway, thinking about how movies have to be involving on many levels to many people...I've yet to meet anyone who gives a care for any of the characters in this waste of time...

Summary: It's not the sixth sense
Review: Rent this movie before you buy it. Also don't expect to see the sixth sense. I liked this movie but I watched it without expecting too much. The ending was great and very unexpected. I would have given it 4 stars if they had shown more of the train scene.

Summary: Only for the cerebral
Review: This is a movie that makes you think and takes a different angle on suspense. It may seem slow moving at times but it is the eeriness that made me enjoy this movie. You can think of it as a first issue of a comic where the main character is just realizing his special qualities. If you appreciate good movie making, cinematography, and sound design you'll enjoy this movie.

Summary: Real Sloooooowwwwww
Review: On the plus side, this movie has very good acting, and a really original idea. It's one of those stories where I think ... Why didn't I think of that. Also the mood and color tone of the movie is consistently moving. However this is possibly the slowest movie I've seen in a long time. I've seen Ingmar Bergman movies that move faster than this one. Part of the problem to me is that the story and idea behind the movie suggest a thinking man's action movie. Not that every movie I see has to have big explosions or anything, but there was nothing here. By the time that the Willis character takes on his new 'identity,' you're so bored that it really doesn't matter. Even the big train wreck that sets up the movie is not shown, just the aftermath from the view of a helicopter. Now I'm pretty sure that the director was deliberately going away from the action so he could focus on the story and characters. But - come on, we need something to move the story along. The plodding pace made it very difficult to sit through. I've heard that there are three parts to this story, maybe the second one will be a little more focused.

Summary: great cinema
Review: M.Night can write a great script,he proved this with the sixth sense.But with unbreakable,I felt he really showed the world what he got,and that is raw talent!Being a Filmmaker from the Philadelphia area myself,I find great joy in seeing one of our own get the props he deserves! This is not a thiller,or an action movie,it is an origin movie.The origin of Bruce Willis's character,and how he becomes,what he becomes. The nice thing about M.Night's movies is that there is no cursing,and no sex scenes,he doesn't need that stuff to tell a remarkable story.

Summary: Unfairly Criticized
Review: Spoiler alert. "Unbreakable" seems to be a film people either love or hate. The hate is understandable, given that the film was--and remains--the victim of a rather misleading publicity campaign. "The Sixth Sense II" this is not! "Unbreakable" is instead a superhero story, simply told and stripped to its essence, with none of the irony, costumes or special effects that are typically thrown at this type of material. Comic book fans will nevertheless recognize and be pleased by the inclusion of the necessary tropes: the alliteratively-named hero; his cowl and cape; his single achillies heel; his creation at the hands of his nemesis, etc. Mr. Shyamalan trusts his script and his actors to sell the premise, and they succeed for the most part. Samuel Jackson does a good job with a somewhat tricky role; even if the audience already suspects where the story is headed, he still has to keep his intentions secret until the last minute. Bruce Willis' somnolent demeanor seems a little overdone at first, but it makes sense once the film's purpose becomes clear. Even if you don't buy the film's premise, there's still a lot to admire in the bits and pieces. The beautifully composed opening sequence on the train and the subtle use of color in the "train station sequence"--dissected in the bonus disc--reveal Shyamalan to be one of a kind amongst his generation. (No ADD MTV CGI vid artist is he.) The DVD transfer does justice to Eduardo Serra's gorgeous cinematography--heavy on dark blues and greys--and James Newton Howard's suitably anthemic music. Well done, overall.

Summary: An Awesome Movie!
Review: First off I want to get something of my chest. A lot of the reviews on this site complain that the movie is bad because it is "so slow paced" It is suppose to be slow paced. What most people don't get about this great movie is that it isn't an action flim or a triller, but a movie about realization. It is about one man trying to come to terms with what he might be. This movie, in my mind, is one of a kind. Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson both give great performances. I really liked the ending which manying people also complain about. Also if your not a fan of comic books you might want to steer clear of this one. So to wrap things up, just give this movie a chance and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
