Concerning Unbreakable

David Dunn (Bruce Willis) is the only survivor of a horrific train wreck that killed over a hundred people. The only other person to be pulled from the wreckage dies of a crushed skull and other injuries within minutes, but Dunn is completely unhurt. Upon leaving a memorial service for the victims of the train wreck, he finds a mysterious card from a comic book store called "Limited Edition" under the windshield wiper of his vehicle. Naturally curious, he seeks out the store and find that its owner, Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), thinks that Dunn may be a modern superhero - a man who is literally "unbreakable."

Pros: There are a lot of things I like about this movie, but I can't mention half of them because I would give something away. That being said, although Bruce Willis isn't a terrific actor, the rest of the cast in the movie is very good. I also like Dunn's wife, Audrey (Robin Wright Penn) very much.

Cons: It's a bit slow, and doesn't have the same emotional pull that some of director/writer/producer M. Night Shyamalan's other movies have.

My Rating: T (language, intensity, sexual reference)
