Unbreakable

Pros: plot, acting, storylines
Cons: absolutely none!

I went to see this film on Friday with a couple of my friends, and I had no idea what to expect. The thought process that I was using was that everyone was telling me that it was like "The Sixth Sense." And with Bruce Willis in it, I knew that it would ...

Pros: Great acting and surprise ending!
Cons: Not including some of the deleted scenes!

Director M. Night Shyamalan and Bruce Willis from the Sixth Sense team up together again to create a movie about a man who has special powers like some of the Comic Book Heroes.

Director and Screenwriter M. Night Shyamalan

Pros: Great acting by the leads, some humor and a fascinating concept.
Cons: Slow-paced, almost zilch action, if you call the ending you've just ruined it.

One look at the ratings will reveal that Unbreakable is a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of film. Seeing it for yourself will not be likely to elicit a "lukewarm" response either way. Well, as you can see I'm on the "love it" side of the fence, ...

Pros: Shyamalan's storytelling, Jackson, Willis
Cons: Borrows elements from Stephen King and the Die Hard movies

M. Nyght Shyamalan has developed a knack for suspenseful storytelling. He knows how to entice an audience with his films from beginning to the payoff at the very end. He gives details that make the story move along, but he leaves people guessing where...

Pros: It's a somewhat thought provoking premise, and it has a surprise ending.
Cons: The hero is so depressing you'll want to slit your own throat half way through.

M. Night Shyamalan should stick to writing and let others do the directing. His previous film, "The Sixth Sense", was so well received that he assumed everything about was liked and that he should do even more of the same in this film. Bad assumption....

Pros: Samuel Jackson, the idea of the movie
Cons: Bruce Willis

This was a strange one, unless you absolutely love comics and super heroes. Actually, the concept was sort of unique, but coming off The Sixth Sense, you pretty much knew how this one was going to end.

David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is our...

Pros: Bruce Willis & Samuel Jackson
Cons: the roles Willis & Jackson played, plus everything else.

Don't worry. This review will be short, short.

It was .99c day at the video store, and after a search of the shelves, my husband and I decided on Unbreakable starring Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson

The...

Pros: Makes you wonder about "sole survivors"
Cons: Samuel L Jackson's hairdo

Unbreakable was a movie I had to see. I have not missed a Bruce Willis yet. There are probably times I should have.

In Unbreakable you will find much of the same lighting as in The Sixth Sense. What is up with...

Pros: intriguing premise
Cons: disappointing ending, annoying child actor

After that rather ominous title, I should clarify that I did not think this was a bad movie. Strange, certainly, but I can deal with that. No, it's just that Shymalan's second blockbuster paled in comparison to the utterly mesmerizing...

Pros: Excellent cast, good story, good ending
Cons: None!

Samuel L. Jackson is Elijah, a man born with a rare bone disease that causes his bones to break and shatter very easily. At this point in his life, he has had over 40 breaks, but always managed to recover. Because of his condition, he has spent a lot...

Pros: The atmosphere builds and builds...
Cons: ...but the payoff crashes

Director M. Night Shyamalan’s newest “I see big bucks” movie, Unbreakable, will be one of the most talked-about films of this lackluster blockbuster season. Trouble is, no one can talk about it. At least, they shouldn’t.

Just...

Pros: Smart script, great performances, fascinating premise
Cons: Somewhat leisurely pace may annoy some, although I certainly didn't mind.

Since I first saw this fine film about 9 days prior to its release date, I wasn't about to ruin one iota of the experience for anyone, and my original review read like this:

---
Nobody flip out! I will give NOTHING away here. Trust...

Pros: Hoyt's movie theater has great coffee
Cons: The film, the directing, the acting

For the first time in a long time, I left a movie theater in a rage. Not just annoyed or disappointed. I was extremely angry that I wasted two hours of my time and $5.00 at Hoyt's early show to view Bruce Willis in Unbreakable. I felt as though my senses...

Pros: It's a movie and not just a filmed story.
Cons: Tries slightly too hard.

Or, let's say the response to Shyamalan.


I waited a long time before I saw this movie. The truth is, I was almost scared to see it. I am a big fan of The Sixth Sense. So, I knew going in that I was either going to really like this...

Pros: Well acted, tense, the DVD is loaded
Cons: slow paced, the DVD is tough to get out of the case.

Now you've seen a lot of reviews on this movie, from both people who love or hate this movie. I will cover some points about the movie that made me enjoy it, and I will talk about the DVD and it's features.

The Movie
Well, we all...
