Review:
Unbreakable is a unique take on the super-hero movie. Unbreakable is often labeled as a "slow burn" movie and it certainly is slow, but the burn really only builds to room temperature before the final half hour. Unbreakable has a great last 15 minutes, but the rest is very slow; an hour and twenty minutes of introduction and filler with terrible acting and decent at best cinematography. Perhaps 18 years of hype built too high of expectations, but Unbreakable didn't live up to it for me. It's a great idea and M Night's obligatory "twist" was legitimately unexpected, but Willis does very little acting and Jackson plays a less yelly version of the same character he plays in every movie, the story is 80 percent exposition, and beyond the twist Unbreakable is unmemorable.
