Unbreakable

I’d been eager to see Unbreakable ever since I started reading about it. The same director as The Sixth Sense, rooted in comic book lore — what’s not to like? I went in with pretty high expectations.

They were met. The film is paced deliberately, with lots of close-in shots and high-gain sound work to provide a sense of intimacy. All the actors do a fine job, though one has to give particular kudos to Samuel L. Jackson, who was wonderful in admittedly the most interesting role in the film. I can’t say much more, lest I ruin some of your enjoyment when you finally see it. So, go see it. Now. All of you. Maybe you can get a group rate. I want to be able to ramble on freely about the film without giving it away.
