Advantages: Bruce Willis keeps his shirt on

Disadvantages: None

In unbreakable the film he made after his breakthrough smash "The sixth sense" M. Night Shyamalan gives bruce willis another opportunity to show he really can act, in a character driven superhero story that's rooted in and makes reference to it's comic book origins.

Willis plays blue collar david dunn-a stadium security worker who right at the start of the film emerges without a scratch from a major train wreck. Then portentous Elijah Price (samuel L Jackson) contacts him and persuades him to see his life and being as something unusual with a pre-destined purpose.

To give away too much plot would deprive the first time viewer of the surprise directions of the story. Surfice to say for a film of this genre it takes its time and is well considered, where M. Night Shyamalan prefers hints and restrained action scenes to tell his tale rather than dollar blowing pyrotechnics.

I only buy films I really like on DVD and I would buy this one again.

Summary: An unusual and intriguing idea
