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)
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.
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.
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
