Its Thanksgiving night. Presenting a Philly story about two men on the opposite ends of the spectrum of life.
David Dunn, a security guard is gifted with a certain immortality whereby he never gets sick and survives the worst of disasters. Then there is Elijah Price, a man who has been inflicted with a "bone-breaking" disease at birth..which means he may not even survive a sneeze.
The movie is about Elijah's drastic search for David.
Writer/Director Night Shyamalan has a knack for churning out superb screenplays. If you thought "The Sixth Sense" was good, "Unbreakable" is as good. Unfortunately, its a classic example of a crisp story line marred by bad direction. Its like when you perform an open-mic at a stand up comedy club, and the audience loves one of your jokes, you just latch on to it and repeat it so many times, in so many other jokes, it sucks the essence out of it, leaving behind a disillusioned, sour-faced audience. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see the movie..just focus on the camera, and its rotations.
This serious-tone movie had the audience laughing at some scenes, not because of good humor, but corny scenes. Like when Joseph picks up a gun to shoot his dad, to prove Elijah correct, was plain silly, thanks to the dialogues.
On performances, Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson deliver good performances. Little Spencer Treat Clark (David's son Joseph) is a promising young actor.
If you are expecting an astounding ending, you got it. But that is it.
On the whole, "Unbreakable" is no great shakes, though its worth a watch. A word of caution, don't go there expecting too much and certainly dont compare it with "The Sixth Sense".
