Review: Unbreakable

Amazingly intense. This is not your typical "explosions, boobs, big things go bang" film that PhatSmacker is so fond of. It could almost be considered quiet in its methodical examination of the simultaneous realizations of ultimate, unavoidable destiny and the strenuous, painful actualization and fulfillment of promises made early on.

Samuel L Jackson is fantastically believable as the excruciatingly fragile Mr. Glass, while Bruce Willis is equally believable on the opposite end of the spectrum as the tough as nails security guard struggling with the fact that fate has called on him to be a hero.

Good cannot exist without evil just as nails cannot exist without glass (at least in this context). Huh?
