Editorial Review:
When Unbreakable was released, Bruce Willis confirmed that the film was the first in a proposed trilogy. Viewed in that context, this is a tantalizing and audaciously low-key thriller, with a plot that twists in several intriguing and unexpected directions. Standing alone, however, this somber, deliberately paced film requires patient leaps of faith--not altogether surprising, since this is writer-director M. Night Shyamalan's daring follow-up to The Sixth Sense. While just as assured as that earlier, phenomenal hit, Unbreakable is the work of a filmmaker whose skill exceeds his maturity, its confident style serving a story that borders on juvenile. However, Shyamalan's basic premise--that comic books are the primary conduit of modern mythology--is handled with substantial relevance.
Willis plays a Philadelphia security guard whose marriage is on the verge of failing when he becomes the sole, unscathed survivor of a devastating train wreck. When prompted by a mysterious, brittle-boned connoisseur of comic books (Samuel L. Jackson), he realizes that he's been free of illness and injury his entire life, lending credence to Jackson's theory that superheroes--and villains--exist in reality, and that Willis himself possesses extraordinary powers. Shyamalan presents these revelations with matter-of-fact gravity, and he draws performances (including those of Robin Wright Penn and Spencer Treat Clark, as Willis's wife and son) that are uniformly superb. The film's climactic revelation may strike some as ultimately silly and trivial, but if you're on Shyamalan's wavelength, the entire film will assume a greater degree of success and achievement. --Jeff Shannon
Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson star in a mind-shattering, suspense-filled thriller that stays with you long after the end of this riveting supernatural film. After David Dunn (Willis) emerges from a horrific train crash as the sole survivor -- and without a single scratch on him -- he meets a mysterious sranger (Jackson). An unsettling stranger who believes comic book heroes walk the earth. A haunting stranger, whose obsession with David will change David's life forever.

Rating:  - Unbreakable (Blu-ray
There is always something special about the blu-ray form that makes the movie even better.
Rating: - Awesome!
M. Night Shyamalan is the master!
This movie is excellent! As every M. Night movie is.
Great characters, great acting and a unusual, never been done before story!
Never pass up the chance to see a M. Night Shyamalan classic!
Rating:  - Hmm...With apologies to Mr Jackson
Interesting story line. My biggest complaint, I have a daughter with O.I. and as much as I love Samuel L Jackson's work, he was way to big and healthy for the role. The only way a man as big, strong and healthy looking could convince me he had O.I. is if he was one of those rare actors who could inhabit the role and become the fragile person the character was meant to be. I have not known many actors who could convincingly become that which they most certainly are not. It is a rare talent. I once ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie, glitched Blu-ray
Unfortunately, the lossless PCM 5.1 soundtrack of this Blu-ray disc suffers from loud popping/distorion in the right surround at timecode 8:30-8:32, as well as in the center channel at 1:28:21. There are also other areas where less noticable distortion occurs. None of these errors are present in the disc's lossy Dolby Digital soundtrack nor in the DVD's lossy DTS soundtrack, so it is clear that Disney dropped the ball in encoding the lossless PCM soundtrack. For the price they are charging for ... Read More
Rating: - Greatest Comic Mythology film ever made
This is M Night's best film in my opinion. It is the most grounded in reality and also the most emotional. I feel this film is way overlooked and misunderstood by most people. Thankfully someone in Blu Ray heaven loves it as much as I do. A great film gets is place on blu ray!
