Unbreakable (Dir. M. Night Shyamalan/2000)
A dark Superhero film rooted in reality, whereby X-ray vision is
instinct and superhuman strength is unbreakable bones. A patient and tragic
story as David Dunn (Willis) tries to find his place in the world following his
lone survival from a train crash. We watch to see if Dunn is truly “Unbreakable”
and meet Elijah Price (Jackson), who suffers from a breakable bone disorder. An
urban world soaked in luxurious deep-blues and Milk-Tray purples, Unbreakable effortlessly convinces us
that heroism exists in this modern world. Comic book heroes and villains have
never been so gracefully depicted on the cinema screen.
Rating: 7/10
