Review of Unbreakable (2000) by Morty_Mcflay — 19 Nov 2019
This great movie loses an entire point or two just by how underwhelming its ending is. Not the “Shyamalan twist,” that part is good. I’m talking about a TEXT ENDING in a movie that should not have one. Those are for documentaries and biopics, and that’s it. Telling us what happened in boring text instead of showing it to us is lazy and idiotic.
Apart from that, this is a pretty great film. It’s a comic book movie in disguise, with great direction and dialogue from Shyamalan supported by two great lead performances from Willis and Jackson and a PHENOMENAL score from James Newton Howard. It was ahead of its time for sure, and would probably be lauded as a modern classic if it was released in our current superhero-saturated culture.
