 | This is a great movie. My brain was working throughout the movie. The acting by Bruce Willis is excellent. I have become a big fan of M. Night Shymallan. And after watching this movie I went out and rented the Village.
I thought the cinematography was wonderful. There was different colour hues for different scenes. With a green hue for David ( Bruce Willis charachter) and a purple hue for Ellijah. This is meant to represent the fact that the characters are on different scales of the spectrum.
The story was well written and the character development of David is done very well. Also the complex relationship he has with his wife is portrayed nicely.
I will be watching this film again and again. A great piece of work. |

 | Security Guard David Dunn miraculously survives a catastrophic train crash outside Philadelphia. Not only is he the sole survivor out of 132 passengers, he also is completely unharmed with not a cut on him. A little later, comic book specialist Elijah Price contacts him to confront David with an incredible theory: Elijah, who has been nicknamed "Mr. Glass" due to his more than fragile bones, thinks that David has got all which he himself lacks. The two of them "seem to be linked by a curve, but sitting on opposite ends". First, David does not believe the strange man, but every single thing he had said proves to be true: David has never ever been hurt or sick in his life, his physical strength is larger than normal and he has a skill which others don't. Slowly, David begins to discover the shocking truth behind Mr. Price's assumptions
I think you have to have an opened mind and don't expect a freakin twist! It's not Sixth Sense!!!!
Piture
The picture quality on this dvd is great! THX cretified picture. I did find it to sometimes get a little hazy but very little at times!! Put it this way 8.5 out of 10 for picture quality!
Sound
Sound is great, using all speakers really well! The score by James Newton Howard comes through beautifully with the dts! I would pick the dts over the dolby track. I found the dts to be a lot more of a natural sound. The LFE gets used when needed and does get put to good use. 9 out 10 for sound, for a drama kinda movie!

 | This movie, much like signs wasn't scary but it was nevertheless a very good movie. You can guess exactly the plot from the title but in case you haven't noticed, it's about a man played by Bruce Willis who is "umbreakable". Samuel L. Jackson's character tells him that he's like a superhero and Willis's character realizes that he has never been sick or been hurt and after he survives a trainrash with no injuries, in which everyone else on board dies, he realizes he may just be "umbreakable". The movie is very good and well made and has a knockout ending that is very umpredictable. Samuel L. Jackson as usual does a fantastic job as a very mysterious man. It's not very scary but is a solid thriller and an excellent overal movie. Worth a buy. |

 | I was searching around here on amazon.com and wanted to look at some lists compiled by people, with their favorite movies on here...well, came across this little gem, and thought that I would check it out. I am not one to be a comic book fanatic..but the plot seemed interesting...and was it ever!! Wit a star cast such as Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson, this was a movie that I could not pass up, and glad that I did not!!
The story was very well told, excellent visuals, actors did a wonderful job with the material. Drawback...at the end, it got a bit weird for my taste...but that is ok...it gave the story another interesting angle...if you are into comic book heros, action, and just plain interesting storylines, give this one a try!! |
