Unbreakable (2000)


A Philadelphia security guard slowly discovers that he is a superhero.

Unusual psychological thriller with great atmosphere and an obscure plot.

On second view the plot is indeed quite vague, although the premise is actually interesting.

Halliwell **: "Clever thriller which manages to comvince itsaudience to take seriously what is essentially hokum, its elegant and painstaking framing of every shot adds to its moody, comic book feel."

Maltin **: "Somber, pin-drop drama from the writer-director of THE SIXTH SENSE, inspired by comic-book-style fiction,is like a shaggy-dog joke that doesn't seem worth the effort once you hear the punchline."
