DVD Reviews of Unbreakable (Two-Disc Vista Series)

DVD Review: Unbreakable
Summary: 5 Stars

Very enjoyable movie. I watched it 3 times and got a little bit more out of it each time.

DVD Review: dirge
Summary: 2 Stars

not much to say about this movie. i've had a copy on videotape for about 5 years and haven't managed to get through the entire movie yet. once a year i go back and start at the beginning, but after about 40 minutes, it always the same for me: "god, this is so slow and boring ... when is something, anything, going to happen ??" then i switch off the vcr and tv and go and do something less boring instead (like watch grass grow).

don't get this movie unless you are extremely patient.

DVD Review: Had to put in my 2 cents
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie deserves a 5-star rating- it makes you think and takes a topic alot of people are interested in (Comic Books) and turns that topic on its head. Its cause of the kids, they called me Mr. Glass!

DVD Review: Flat Out Sensational
Summary: 5 Stars

I didn't see Unbreakable in the theatre. In fact, I don't remember when I saw it. I didn't see trailers on anything. I believe I bought the DVD a few years ago..mostly because I was buying any DVD that caught my interest. But with each time I see it...about half a dozen times...it just seems better and better. Unbreakable is now my favorite all time movie.

If I had written a review when I saw it...I probably would have given it a 3.5 stars. Why? Because I knew it enjoyed it...but I didn't truly "get it"...in fact...that underlies the greatness of this film...it is the type of movie that you absorb. It is subtle. Unbreakable doesn't hit you with a sledgehammer. In fact, it wasn't until I began to read the over reviewers...that I understood it is a "super hero" movie. I certainly didn't know it was the first of a possible trilogy (I wonder now some 9 yrs later if it will happen) Why? When I saw the movie...I just got caught up in the story of a man discovering who he is...and his purpose in life. I loved the reality of this movie. For example, I loved how "David"...after trying to pick up the player agent...slips his wedding band back on his finger. EVERYMAN is right.

I keep watching it to pick up more things I missed before. I long for more because there are so many questions. For instance, I wonder just how strong Bruce Willis's character "David Dunn" really is? And what would happen if he was shot? Due to the incredible ending...I wonder if David's superhero career ends before it even really gets started.

If you give this movie a chance, you may also be blown away by how great it is. I believe it is Night's best movie.

Description of Unbreakable (Two-Disc Vista Series)

Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson star in a mind-shattering, suspense-filled thriller that stays with you long after the end of this riveting supernatural film. After David Dunn (Willis) emerges from a horrific train crash as the sole survivor -- and without a single scratch on him -- he meets a mysterious sranger (Jackson). An unsettling stranger who believes comic book heroes walk the earth. A haunting stranger, whose obsession with David will change David's life forever.

When Unbreakable was released, Bruce Willis confirmed that the film was the first in a proposed trilogy. Viewed in that context, this is a tantalizing and audaciously low-key thriller, with a plot that twists in several intriguing and unexpected directions. Standing alone, however, this somber, deliberately paced film requires patient leaps of faith--not altogether surprising, since this is writer-director M. Night Shyamalan's daring follow-up to The Sixth Sense. While just as assured as that earlier, phenomenal hit, Unbreakable is the work of a filmmaker whose skill exceeds his maturity, its confident style serving a story that borders on juvenile. However, Shyamalan's basic premise--that comic books are the primary conduit of modern mythology--is handled with substantial relevance.

Willis plays a Philadelphia security guard whose marriage is on the verge of failing when he becomes the sole, unscathed survivor of a devastating train wreck. When prompted by a mysterious, brittle-boned connoisseur of comic books (Samuel L. Jackson), he realizes that he's been free of illness and injury his entire life, lending credence to Jackson's theory that superheroes--and villains--exist in reality, and that Willis himself possesses extraordinary powers. Shyamalan presents these revelations with matter-of-fact gravity, and he draws performances (including those of Robin Wright Penn and Spencer Treat Clark, as Willis's wife and son) that are uniformly superb. The film's climactic revelation may strike some as ultimately silly and trivial, but if you're on Shyamalan's wavelength, the entire film will assume a greater degree of success and achievement. --Jeff Shannon
