Movie Reviews of Unbreakable
Movie Review: Psychological Thriller
Summary: 4 Stars
M. Night Shyamalan wrote, produced and directed this psychological thriller. The stars include Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson.
The story is strange and involves parallel comic book hero and villain. The beliefs we have of what characteristics a hero and villain have are embedded in the story.
The hero is David Dunn (Bruce Willis -a Philadelphia security guard) and the villain is Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) who deals in the art and culture of comic books.
The movie starts with a train crash that David survives with no injuries. All other 130 passengers die. You also see Elijah being born and the doctor asking if anyone had dropped the baby? The people nearby say no - and then the doctor said the bones in the legs and arms are broken. So two extremes on the bell curve of strength that slowly and darkly to the surprise ending.
David Dunn's estranged wife (Robin Wright Penn) is deciding whether to stay or leave - their marriage is falling apart. David was flirting with another woman after coming home from a job interview in New York when his train derails. He seems to know something will happen as he looks warily at the driver of the train and sounds are exaggerated. His son sees the news of the train crash on TV at home and realizes his dad is on that train. He meets them both unscathed. His wife asked if he got the job in New York. He did not - he remains a security guard, but gets a $40 raise for not taking any sick days in 5 years.
Through many scenes we realize that David has hardly been injured or sick, has great strength and able to deterine if someone is carrying a gun or is about to do something bad. He is slowly convinced by his son and Elijah he is a super hero. Although the movie is in color I had the impression it was gray tones and black and white - dark like the story.
An above average thriller of good and evil, black and white, strength and weakness.
