Unbreakable




This movie, starring Bruce Willis, who lacks showing any strong emotion, is a make up of a comic book-like story. While starting as a harmless adventure into a security guards secret villain-fighting powers, this movie turns part horror, part mystery as our hero investigates just how far his powers will lead him.

The movie picks up about half-way through, when it starts to give some good comic book imagery(faceless man in cape, pouring rain). Unfortunately, when our hero turns to fighting crime, he comes across a mildly graphic scenario.

Along with crime-fighting always comes a bit of mystery, of which this movie indulges us. The mystery is not predominant, but just some fun unknowns throughout the movie.

My favorite part of this movie is that it doesn't shine light on everything it delivers. It won't scream at you when something fun is showing. While still an enjoyable movie, being able to spot certain less-conspicuous happenings (like the comic book imagery) makes it much more enjoyable and full.
4/5
