Review of Unbreakable on Filmviews.net
Year2000 ReviewerChris Docker
The fact that this film is reasonably well-made stops me calling it pretentious rubbish, but really all we have is a director who had a major hit (Sixth Sense) trying to turn that into a formula. The result is a movie that is slow, tedious, and rather full of its own importance. The acting is great. Willis plays a man who is the only survivor of an accident and seemingly has had little or nothing wrong with him all his life. Against his better judgment, he starts to believe that there may be something rather special about him, that comic heroes are based on a spark of truth and that maybe he embodies it. The surprise at the end is quite good but hardly worth the wait.
Rating: 5/10;
