Unbreakable (2000)

Genre: Thrillers, Superhero Films

Cast: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

A brilliant original superhero origin movie from director M. Night Shyamalan during his prime years.  This movie was released right after "The Sixth Sense" became a monster hit. I liked this movie better than the other one though. It's a shame that this one didn't make as much in profits as the previous one due to poor marketing efforts.

It's about a superhero who doesn't know he is one. Bruce Willis plays the unbreakable guy- he cannot be hurt by anything. He survives during a train crash that kills every other passengers, but he thinks that he was just lucky to have survived till he meets Samuel Jackson who has a condition totally opposite- his bones are too fragile that it breaks often.

What I liked- The original plot and the acting of both the main characters. It had all the suspense initially and is believable.

Dislikes - As any other Shyamalan movie, this movie was slow but it had of course enough suspense and build up that i could sit through it.
