UNBREAKABLE [2000]

Strange things always seem to occur to people that never smile in mysterious thrillers written & directed by M. Night Shyamalan.  
Unbreakable is a quiet and moody ode to comic books that reunites Bruce Willis & Samuel L. Jackson for a third time.  It takes us through a murky, dreary analogy of comic books and the real world...or at least the real world that is Shyamalan's imagination.  Set up like an origin story for a super-hero it makes you wonder what other stories any potential sequels would explore.  It might not be as tightly wound or paced as The Sixth Sense but it's probably my favorite of Shyamalan's films.
