- Plot - MOVIE SPOILERS Having recently reviewed a film where Bruce Willis plays a small role I thought I would choose one where he is the lead. 2000 brought us another film by M. Night Shyamalan. Director and writer of previous award winning films such as The Sixth Sense that also starred Bruce Willis. Unbreakable ... Read the complete review

This is one of those films that should be rubbish but is brilliant. It's from the director of Sixth Sense, and is undoubtedly Bruce Willis' best performance as a man who has super powers but doesn't know it. It's like 'What would Superman's life be like if he didn't know he was Superman, and then finds out in this film'. The acting is ... Read the complete review

This is one of my all time favourite films as it takes super heroes and try's to make them real. It stars Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson who are both brilliant actors. Willis is one day confronted by Jackson who informs him that he has a unique ability to be almost invincible and invulnerable to things regular people aren't where ... Read the complete review

So this is the second big film from M Night Shyamalan and he reunites with Bruce Willis again and it would seem like this was a guaranteed hit, however personally I would say this is a good movie made average, due to it not reaching the same heights as the sixth sense. So joining Bruce Willis, the other main member of the cast is Samuel ... Read the complete review

This movie begins quite strangely with a list of statistics on a plain background, relating to comic books, and then changes to a department store in 1961, where a young woman has just given birth to a child. The arriving doctor is amazed, and asks if anyone had dropped the infant as the new baby has broken arms and legs. When told the child had ... Read the complete review

I wish more movies were as original and intelligent as Unbreakable instead of the constant, overdone cash-cows that are spewed out as ridiculous sequels today. It brings the unlikely match up of Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis. Both huge actors who give very impressive leads in this 2000 psychological thriller. Willis ... Read the complete review

For a brief spell the name M Night Shyamalan film was a guarantee of quality: a promise that of an atmospheric, slow-burning tale with an unexpected twist at the end. That period didn't last long. Arguably, Shyamalan's second film is also his last decent one. It builds on lessons learned from The Sixth Sense and is probably a more ... Read the complete review

M NIght Shyamalan is known for making very artistic and curious films no matter the subject. Usually, this involves the supernatural, and in a way, this film does too, taking a 'superhero' comic and making a film out of it in his own inimitable style. As a result, I am completely on the fence about this film, but in the sense that it's verging on ... Read the complete review

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 ... Read the complete review

Unbreakable is a surprisingly underrated film by M Night Shyamalan, Director of the Sixth Sense. Maybe it is because it followed his debut thriller / horror film that it has not been given the consideration it deserved. Sure, it is not as slick as the super hero films it is designed to emulate (Heroes does a much better job) but it does tell a ... Read the complete review

This film starts with a train crash, with only one survivor. David Dunn (played by Bruce Willis) the survivor is contacted soon after by a strange man called Elijah Price (played by Samuel L. Jackson). Price has been obsessed by comic books since he was a child. Inflicted by an illness that means his bones break extremely easily, he is ... Read the complete review

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 ... Read the complete review

M Night Shyamalan is a director with an impressive track record. So it was something of a surprise that his, allegedly self-absorbed production, “Lady in the Water” tanked at the box office recently. Maybe the writing’s been on the wall for a while. “The Village” was another flawed foray into the world of the supernatural whilst “Signs” had been a ... Read the complete review

Elijah Price is an intriguing individual. Born with a disease that limits his ability to heal, or more precisely, aids his ability to become injured, he sets out on a journey to find his opposite; the one that need not heal, the one that doesn't injure as he does. In comparison, security guard David Dunn goes about his everyday life with little ... Read the complete review

PLOT - Bruce Willis (David Dunn) is on a train. Train crashes. Everyone dies but Bruce, who survives without a bruse or scratch. Thats the first ten mins of the film. Interesting eh :) I don't really agree with giving away all the plot to a film so I'm not going to. I'm sure there are a few better reviews which will do this. ... Read the complete review

I really enjoy Samuel L.Jackson films so when this came out to rent on video i thought it would be really good, i wasn't let down. Unbreakable was very good. The interaction between Jackson and Willis had already been seen in Die Hard with Avengeance, and i just knew before the film came on they wouldn't disappoint me. ... Read the complete review

Unbreakable, the highly-expected second full lengh feature from Mr Sixth Sense, received a dull welcome from either the critics and the crowd. The movie is about a security guard (Bruce Willis), only survivor of a train accident, with not a scratch or broken bone. He is then contacted by a comic book nerd (Samuel L. Jackson) ...

"Theres always two kinds, the soldier villian who fights the hero with his hands, and theres the real threat, the brilliant and evil archenemy who fights the hero with his mind......" M Night Shyamalan was onto a winner with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable was a sure-fire hit. Back in the mid 60's, a woman gave ... Read the complete review

I was in the video rent shop and was trying to decided what to get. Everything seemed either comedy or just rubbish (I should have gone for comedy). However I saw this, I'd seen trailers in the cinema a while back, it had bruce willis but most importantly samuel L jackson. I was slightly worried by the casting of these two together though, but ... Read the complete review
