Unbreakable (DVD) Reviews

I'm a great fan of both Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis so when someone told me they would be starring in a film together it goes with out saying I needed to watch it. What I didn't expect was this brilliantly clever story that was the total opposite of your average superhero movie. This is one of those movies that I never heard a lot ...  Read the complete review

The Mrs was tired last night and went to bed early, leaving me to flick through the Sky channels and see if there was anything interesting on. When looking through Sky Movies I saw the film Unbreakable starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson (2 of my favourite actors) and so I settled down to watch it. In a nutshell, Bruce ...  Read the complete review

- 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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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” ...  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 ...  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

"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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Now this is what I call a classy looking DVD release. It comes in a Drawer (like the From Dusk till Dawn: SE R2 release) which just stands out in your collection. I much prefer these types of packaging to the usual amaray cases that DVDs usually come in. MOVIE: The film revolves around a Security Guard called David Dunn ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever wanted to see a movie where there are super heros and super-villians that don`t go too over the top with their powers? This movie is exactly that. Unbreakable is directed by M. Night Shyamalan and stars Bruce Willis (David Dunn) and Samuel L Jackson (Elijah Price). The movie opens with David surviving a ...  Read the complete review
