This Was Our "Sign"
Did anyone else notice that this film was the one that marked Shyamalan's end in the way of any sort of credibility? First, it was this, an odd film that was something of a disappointment. Then, he unleashed "Lady in the Water" on us; we couldn't tell if that was disappointing or what (in fact, I still have no idea why that movie exists). And then, as his final goodbye wave, came the atrocious "The Happening". He should have stopped at "Signs". This film is one which depends on its final five minutes for you to make your opinion of it. The beginning is intriguing. There's much ambiguous exposition, and you are left to piece together an interesting if not remarkably enthralling puzzle. The rest of the film basically hinges on a plot twist that comes in the third act, and meanders almost painfully. It takes a sharp left turn and turns into a superhero movie before devolving into downright absurd. That plot twist that should have been so important is ultimately squandered by the time we get there (oh, by the way...it sucks). The film plays with all sorts of comic-book folklore and startlingly unsubtle symbolism, but, to be frank, none of it's very interesting. We get it. Bruce Willis is "Unbreakable", he's the hero. And there's Samuel L. Jackson, who's really fragile. They're counterparts. But Shyamalan seems to hammer this across, and it's just not enough to hold up for two hours. A disappointing misfire.

CSM Gave this movie 2 stars?!
This movie is just incredible. Not at all your average superhero movie. This a realistic take on what would happen if there really were people with special abilities, and it focuses on one man who has them. Great premise, and the ending was spectacular. I totally did not see the ending coming. Two thumbs way up. It does have some disturbing violent content, which is why I think it is appropriate for kids 14 and older. Mature 13 year olds should do fine, though. Mature viewers will get much more enjoyment out of this movie, because there is a LOT to think about.

"Ultimately disappointing"?
Yes, "Unbreakable" was not as good as "The Sixth Sense", but it was still an incredible film that deserves to be watched. Don't listen to CSM, the twist was good, but more subtle than in "The Sixth Sense", which in some ways, made it more impactful to the movie. The Content in the movie really wasn't a problem-- it was more of the themes and dark feel of the movie. OK, i didn't think "The Sixth Sense" or "The Ring" were strange or weird, so you can tell that "unbreakable" probably is when I say that I thought it was a little different, but not really that weird. (But still really good)

 
Another M Night hit
As an M Night fan, I did enjoy this. Bruce Willis did an amazing job as a simple, but actually larger-than-life character. I loved the usual M Night twist at the end. I was disturbed with some of the scenes, including where a man has apparently killed the parents of two children who save Bruce Willis.

 
Too predicatable
I totally saw the ending coming. Not that entertaining, really.

A good picture but not as good as the Sixth Sense but still good

 
Disturbing hostage scene
This movie had great depth in showing the good/bad choices we make, how we use our talents and how things were 'meant to be'. However, I found the misuse of Christ's name offensive and was very disturbed by the scene which showed a family that was kept hostage and killed/abused by their captor. Also, I was never really quite sure about the purpose behind including a scene where the main character decides to slip off his wedding band near the beginning of the film. As a mentor for a confirmation class (13-14 year-olds) at our church, I was surprized this movie was recommended in Focus on the Family's "Movie nights". This movie should be reserved for older teens only.

Great movie, with a twist.
Suggested MPAA Rating: PG-13 for mature thematic elements. There's nearly nothing actually 'inappropriate', just one or two mild swear words. A mild implication of a rape. (nothing shown or heard), a scene or two of mild violence. But the movie is somewhat stressful.

 
Intense, disturbing, and brilliant!
This is an mazing movie! Definitely one of few M. Night movies that worked! I love the realism of this superhero story. It was gritty, dark, and had an awesome twist in the end. I wish they had shown more action, though. They left a lot off-screen. parents: This is a brutal movie; there's rape, murder, drug dealing, threatening, fighting, and many disturbing plot themes. There's also sexuality and language. Bottom Line: An excellent thriller for any movie fan. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man
