Return

I saw Unbreakable. It wasn't unwatchable, but Ace's previous comments are accurate. M. Night Shymalan (sp) overrelies on mood and crafts scenes that should take little time into long, extended portraits. Bruce Willis (our hero) is not depressed or somber. He's borderline catatonic, which makes the time spent with him a hard row.

I will say that the last 20 minutes helped to rehabilitate what I had considered a complete failure up until that point, even with the "sensational" twist.

Grade: C.
