In my mind, Shyamalan’s best movie. Close second is Signs (mainly because we had one of those rings in my town, and I’m thinking about it more and more recently ;). Unbreakable has an amazing atmosphere, so ordinary and dark at the same time. Ingenious layering of the story and the method of its delivery makes it seem like it’s based on real events. Absolutely convincing. It doesn’t falter even in its “message", while maintaining high standards as a movie. Shyamalan really should have a crack at filming a real event. In my opinion it would certainly be interesting.

One of M. Night Shyamalan's best films, which I like because it draws from superhero comics. I like the more civilian approach to superheroes, and this film takes it almost to complete realism. I also like the slow-motion shots and the way the characters act. There is a hint of pathos, which prevails in Shyamalan's recent films, but it's balanced to a degree that makes it more than bearable. Moreover, the point was good this time too. Even after all these years, I still like this film a lot. Maybe even a little more, because this subject fascinates me.

A very weird play with our expectations. The film at first appears to be a mystery thriller with a protagonist who, like the viewer, is stumbling in the unknown trying to figure things out, only to gradually morph into an intimate take on the comic book tale of an enlightened and strangely gifted hero who has solved part of the mystery with the help of an outsider and now faces the historically determined and inevitable fate of searching for the ultimate villain. Formally and acting-wise everything is OK, precisely subordinated to the demands of Willis's character's changing motivational development, and specifically the cinematography and chilling music cried out for some kind of material appreciation at the time, but the story only really grabbed me fully in the last half hour or so, until then it had been flapping lightly in one place, relying solely on the unravelling of a few outlined motifs in the final dramatic phase. 75%

A mystery/drama family thriller with a comic book twist. And an amazing film to go with it. Simply put, M. Night Shyamalan has put together a brilliantly crafted machine to take the viewer through the most unbelievable psychological twists and turns. From a completely inconspicuous introduction through a mysterious course of events to an ending that shows you just how close to the truth you've been all along. A journey of discovery and the first glimpse of how unpredictable and adored a creator Shyamalan actually is.

I'm a sucker for mysterious, even supernatural movies. I enjoy watching them and discovering what’s happening along with the characters. It's just that these 106 minutes felt like an eternity. Even the cast couldn't save it. If there was any tension, then I clearly wasn’t paying enough attention in physics... It seems I only crossed paths Mr. Shyamalan in 1999 without so much as a fart since then. Unbreakable was just a mystical bore.
