Unbreakable (Available April 1)
M. Night Shyamalan rocked the cinematic world with his 1999 hit The Sixth Sense (which incidentally still holds up and drops on Amazon Prime this month as well), and many wondered what the twist-filled director would do next. His follow-up, the moody, broody, character-study superhero (and villain!) film Unbreakable, ranks among his best. Bruce Willis reteams with Shyamalan to play David Dunn, a humble security guard whose relationships with his wife (Robin Wright) and son are slowly falling apart until he becomes the lone survivor of a massive train wreck. Samuel L. Jackson is also excellent as Elijah Price, aka “Mr. Glass,” a comic book obsessive who’s the polar opposite of Dunn, living his life in fear and agony with a condition that leaves his bones brittle. In a 2000 review for The A.V. Club, Nathan Rabin said, “Anyone walking in expecting a near-perfect spine-tingler will inevitably walk away disappointed. Those coming in with more modest expectations, however, will discover a flawed but distinctly personal and rewarding film.”
