Disadvantages: none

This movie was FANTASTIC! It put a different spin on super hero movies. This is the first superhero movie that wasn't based on a comic book or cartoon television series. It was an excellent concept of the idea that you could be a superhero and not even know it.

This is one of M. Night Shyamalan's greatest movies other than the sixth sense of course, which hmmm...also stars Bruce Willis...do I see a pattern here that corresponds between M. Night's hits and Bruce Willis?? Anyway, back to the story outline. This movie is about the main character David Dunne, played by Bruce Willis, who at the beginning of the film is involved in a train crash and he is the only survivor, and beyond that, he doesn't have a scratch on him! This is pretty miraculous seeing a all of the other hundreds of passengers died from the crash. To walk away without a scratch is AMAZING.

David doesn't think anything about this miracle that has happened to him, until he is approached by a man named Elijah Prince, played by Samuel L. Jackson. Elijah seems convinced that David is a superhero. At first, obviously, David thinks he is insane, but when he really starts to look at the facts he realizes their may be some truth to Elijah's theories. Here is when the real excitement begins, as David begins honing in on his super powers (not anything crazy like laser beams for eyes or freezing time) just enhanced human powers. He thus begins trying to use these powers to stop the evils of the world around him.

This movie is exciting, entertaining, and will keep you hanging on every characters words until the very last scene. I highly recommend this film.
