Unbreakable It is hard to review this film as a motion picture, because it feels more like TV soap opera on mute. The 1 hour and 47 minutes of boring, predictable and foolish sequences of silence in between unbelievably repetitive dialogue Unbreakable It is hard to review this film as a motion picture, because it feels more like TV soap opera on mute. The 1 hour and 47 minutes of boring, predictable and foolish sequences of silence in between unbelievably repetitive dialogue easily make this movie one of the most roll-your-eyes producing films I have ever gone threw. Bruce Willis plays the dull and slow-moving David Dunn, a lone and unharmed train wreak survivor who discovers that he is unable to sustain injury. Meanwhile, the emotionally unstable and easily injured Samuel L. Jackson plays the obviously brilliant yet deceiving psycho who thinks comic book heroes walk the earth. The movie unravels from somewhat interesting to boring. It takes most of the movie for what is at hand not to be dealt with, and you find yourself staring at the mysterious situation put forwards simply not breaking through with a much needed common thriller plot twist or breaking point. This is of course, until towards the very end. One central problem with the movie is that it is highly unlikely that one man would go his entire life without tripping or falling and wondering why there was no pain or injury. His mother would not wonder why he never got Chicken Pox? His father would never wonder why his knee did not bleed when he fell on it extremely hard during some catch? His wife would not wonder why when he slipped in the shower and smashed his head on the floor that he did not feel any pain? It just seems so unbelievably silly and impossible for this to happen and for nothing to be realized until a frickin train accident at the age of 40. The movie is essentially unrealistic beyond obvious proportions. The acting performances are easy and have no depth due to the pathetic script handed to the actors only to damage there impressive careers. Put simply, this movie is bad. If you wish to take my advice, avoid it by any means… Expand

This movie is an atrocity. A souless atrocity. Every scene felt stilted and was just mindless readouts of exposition. There was no pacing. The acting in these completely assaholic scenarios was actually more comedic than dramatic; however,This movie is an atrocity. A souless atrocity. Every scene felt stilted and was just mindless readouts of exposition. There was no pacing. The acting in these completely assaholic scenarios was actually more comedic than dramatic; however, this comes off as pathetic and sad in this case as opposed to actually enjoyable. I don't understand why it has such a high score on here. Were people just like "Ooh Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson and comic books? That was all in my wet dream last night! Hooray!" I don't get it.… Expand

Intriguing concept, which was really poorly handled.

Unbreakable thinks its smarter than it is, and Shyamalan is so self confident that everything in the movie feels manipulated and forced. In fact, the whole movie seems pointless.

In fact, the whole movie seems pointless. Even great actors like Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, and Robin Wright seem wooden and disinterested. Although i will admit this is a great movie for a drinking game. Every time a character mentions being sick, drink. Every time Bruce Willis and Robin Wright talk about their sinking marriage, drink. That should be a fun night.… Expand

Ainsi, Bruce est "incassable" alors qu'à l'autre extrémité du spectre, Samuel est fragile comme du verre... Leurs destins vont donc se croiser principalement parce que monsieur fragile est un fana de "comics" ! et de faits divers...

Shyamalan signe toujours des films très lents et assez énigmatiques au début mais là tout de même, c'est le pompom. Il ne se passe rien ou si peu de choses jusqu'au tout dernier quart d"heure qu'on se demande si le film est vraiment commencé ou si on est tombé dans le coma.

Eventuellement, la fin révèle une surprise, assez bien trouvée, si on est encore réveillé à ce moment-là, ce qui n'est pas gagné. Bruce est plutôt sobre (pour une fois) dans son jeu approximatif, tandis que Samuel est toujours un peu vénère ou du moins très aigri mais on le comprend vu sa situation...

Globalement, ça aurait pu tenir le temps d'un épisode à la X-Files mais sur plus d'une heure et demi, cette limace se révèle totalement lénifiante. Je mets 1 quand même, juste pour la fin.… Expand

who is scoring this movie in the eights. i know everyone has different likes and dislikes but how is this not pretty darn boaring to everyone. i like plenty if non action movies and i like dramas but there comes a point where something can bewho is scoring this movie in the eights. i know everyone has different likes and dislikes but how is this not pretty darn boaring to everyone. i like plenty if non action movies and i like dramas but there comes a point where something can be so slow and dreary that you marvel at any person liking it. Its cliche use of the holywood beliefs of things like racism or a white guy in camo collored jacket must be a maniac although predictable in holywood are also unfortunatly the only time anything actually happens in this snooze fest. there is no action which is fine but there is no suspense either. the only suspense through the whole movie is the sense of will this ever get better. the answer is no. it didnt. but then i'm also in the camp that belives manoj nelliyattu ( no. changing your name to m. night shamashamflimflam doesnt actually help a movie) is a director who must have sold his soul to be popular with hollywood but forgot put the ability to make a good movie in his contract with satan. hense a series of boring wastes of time.… Expand
