Unbreakable is a flawed follow-up to The Sixth Sense
By David Germain The Associated Press
In Unbreakable, Willis plays David Dunn, the lone survivor of a train wreck that kills 131 people. Except he does not just survive; David is such a die-hard, he comes through without a scratch. Enter Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a wild-eyed prophet cruelly nicknamed Mr. Glass because of a medical condition that left his skeleton so brittle he has sustained 54 broken bones in his life. Elijah lays out a crazy explanation for David's
Inevitably, writer-director M. Night Shyamalain and Bruce Willis face loftily elevated expectations after last year's horror sensation The Sixth Sense. Their follow-up, Unbreakable, is no Sixth Sense. Any counting on a repeat of the "Oh, wow" twist the first film delivered will be disappointed.
Unbreakable evokes the hushed, creepy mood of The Sixth Sense, but the movie offers little beyond dark atmosphere. Its story is less accessible, and some may find it downright silly.
survival, something to do with the world of myth and folklore he finds reflected in the comic books he became addicted to during his convalescences growing up.
The movie has one commercial edge above The Sixth Sense. The first film opened strongly but not spectacularly; its success came as audiences talked it up and went back to see it again.
Unbreakable looks to follow an opposite pattern, opening hugely on the strength of The Sixth Sense but fading faster as word spreads that it lacks the wallop of its predecessor.
After all, everybody loves a good ghost story. Not everybody loves a comic-book tale.
What follows is an occasionally intriguing exploration of purpose, unfilled potential and the kind of lucid lunacy that can develop in an angry mind encased by a debilitated body.
But Shyamalan's whole idea is underdone, and it plays out with more style than substance. Unbreakable feels on the cusp of going somewhere revelatory without ever arriving.
