Synopsis:
UNBREAKABLE stars Bruce Willis as David Dunne, a
Philadelphia security guard and the sole survivor of a
disasterous train wreck. Not only is David still alive
after the crash--he's completely unharmed. After this
miraculous incident, he's contacted by the mysterious
Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a dealer of comic book
art who seems to have the opposite physicality--his bones
tend to snap like twigs. As Elijah attempts to help the
reluctant hero realize his superhuman potential, David
tries to make amends with his estranged wife (Robin Wright
Penn) and son (Spencer Treat Clark).
Following the runaway success of THE SIXTH SENSE,
writer-director M. Night Shyamalan once again teams up
with Willis for another bleak supernatural tale with a
surprising finale. Although Willis and Jackson are
excellent in their roles, the highlights of the film are
Eduardo Serra's cinematography and Shyamalan's direction,
which are eerily atmospheric and inventive--in certain
sequences, for example, entire scenes are shot as
reflections on glass. UNBREAKABLE is a superhero film at
heart, but Shyamalan's somber aesthetic transforms it into
something far more intriguing.
