Unbreakable

In a world with little hope and fewer heroes, the search for help is not so simple. In comic book tales, mankind always had that light of hope in their world of darkness as their hero battled evil, helping good prevail, at least until the next issue.

As for David Dunne (Bruce Willis), he strived to do his best to serve and protect the common people as a stadium security guard. This however was only the beginning as after a devastating train accident kills all onboard but him, he is left with not a single scratch, but plenty of questions.

In more than a chance meeting, he comes face to face with Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a comic book connoisseur who sheds some light on his peculiar predicament.

A wonderful story accented by terrific performances, the film's only weakness lies in its artistically long single shots that seem to drag on and on, only managing to awkwardly slow down the pacing of the movie. Overall, the story and concept alone carry the movie, and with enough twists to keep you guessing, it is sure to please.

Parental Note: Minor Violence, Adult Situations

** **

The two discs are single sided - single layered, disc 1 containing the original widescreen version of the movie, disc 2 the the original widescreen of full frame version. The mastering is excellent, as are the several extras.
