UNBREAKABLE stars Bruce Willis as David Dunne, a Philadelphia security guard and the sole survivor of a disasterous train wreck. Not only is David still alive after the crash--he's completely unharmed. After this miraculous incident, he's contacted by the mysterious Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a dealer of comic book art who seems to have the opposite physicality--his bones tend to snap like twigs. As Elijah attempts to help the reluctant hero realize his superhuman potential, David tries to make amends with his estranged wife (Robin Wright Penn) and son (Spencer Treat Clark).
Following the runaway success of THE SIXTH SENSE, writer-director M. Night Shyamalan once again teams up with Willis for another bleak supernatural tale with a surprising finale. Although Willis and Jackson are excellent in their roles, the highlights of the film are Eduardo Serra's cinematography and Shyamalan's direction, which are eerily atmospheric and inventive--in certain sequences, for example, entire scenes are shot as reflections on glass. UNBREAKABLE is a superhero film at heart, but Shyamalan's somber aesthetic transforms it into something far more intriguing.

"...UNBREAKABLE [shows] Mr. Shyamalan's remarkable growth as a director....This is a superhero comic rendered as a haiku....Mr. Willis has the charisma to hold an audience....Mr. Jackson does wonders with [his] role..."
"...All is revealed with a stealth that makes UNBREAKABLE the kind of movie that's talked about well after the credits roll..."
Good movie but dont rent this bonus disc
At last a grown up superhero movie!! All due respect to Spiderman.....which is great but firmly routed in a certain amount of fantasy.....this is a story based on fact, on proven medical conditions and science. Far more intense than your average hero movie, it is concerned with the leads struggle to come to terms with his powers and the twist at the end is unexpected and well executed. Far more real than Daredevil (which I didn't rate highly at all) and much easier to identify with the main characters this is a movie greatly underestimated and worth adding to you home DVD collection......its a classic!
