#UNBREAKABLE DVD SNAP MOVIE#
I went along with the story for most of it, but after a while, the movie lost my attention. In the end, though, "Unbreakable" simply doesn't have as interesting a plot or as engaging or fully realized characters as "The Sixth Sense" did. The score by James Newton Howard also sets a mood without being intrusive.
One of several cinematographers whose work I highly enjoy, Eduardo Serra creates a cold, crisp look to the movie that draws the attention. Willis (and Robin Wright Penn, as his wife), take this direction a little too seriously.Īt least the director has packed atmosphere for this journey. It doesn't help either that the director has chosen to have all of his actors underplay this works for Jackson, who's rarely been more haunting. Here, plot twists seem to be greeted with a "Yeah, alright", as some scenes drag on past their borders. At least in "The Sixth Sense" there were "Ah ha!" plot twists occasionally along the way and a few jolts every so often. I've heard of deliberate pacing, but Shyamalan has things moving at a glacial pace for several stretches of the movie. Unfortunately, the film takes ages to get there. How far he is willing to take that belief and what it all means is the focua of "Unbreakable". He's always believed that there is someone on the opposite end of the physical health spectrum than him, and he believes that he has found that in David. For this whole piece of the plot, we are also given a list of statistics about the sales of comic books as the film opens. Years later, he has gained a love for comics and works in a shop called "Limited Edition". Glass" as a kid and his caring mother was only able to bring him out of his room by placing comic books on the bench outside. Jackson), a man who has lived with a bone disease all of his life that causes his bones to break very easily. He is the only survivor of the train wreck and, more remarkably, has not gained one scratch on him. The train begins to rumble and.cut to David waking up in a hospital. He casually flirts with a woman who sits down next to him, but things don't work out and she moves. Willis plays David Dunn, a man who we're introduced to on a train ride home.
Cut to last Winter, when "Unbreakable" hit theaters - again, starring Bruce Willis. Obviously, whatever the director went for next would be met with high expectations. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense", went on to be one of the highest grossing pictures of all time. A small supernatural story, buzz had been good, but expectations were still not enormous. In August of a couple years prior, Disney released a small picture into theaters late into the Summer.
