Andrew Sarris
With Unbreakable , Mr. Shyamalan establishes himself as a distinctive auteur with a very personal style.
Geoff Andrew
Whereas The Sixth Sense left audiences surprised but surprisingly comfortable, this more mature and ambitious movie preserves its ambiguities and keeps everyone guessing.
Peter Rainer
Samuel L. Jackson plays a comic-book-art collector named Elijah, as in the prophet, and his stare could probably burn a hole through Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
Peter Travers
Thrill-kill plots, cardboard characters and zap-pow editing are not for Shyamalan, who takes his good, thoughtful time to snare audiences in his dark web.
Kenneth Turan
Unbreakable seems to have encouraged all its actors to emulate Willis' lugubrious pacing, meaning that usually vibrant actors such as Wright Penn and Jackson are not shown to their best advantage.
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Shyamalan is a brilliant filmmaker with a distinctive style, but he still needs substance.

Unbreakable, writer-director M. Night Shyamalan's dazzling reunion with Bruce Willis confirms he's one of the most brilliant filmmakers working today.
User reviews
plausible comic book tale This is an interesting "what if" story about how a person might deal with learning that he is a superhero without the typical over-the-top gaudy spandex and fantastically overblown plot lines.
♥ℓυν †hι§ ...............Bruce Willis isn't the only actor that rocked this movie, so did Samuel L. Jackson!!!!
Wish I could buy Google is just begging me to buy else where. Really wish I could buy......

Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan assembles an all-star cast, including Joaquin Phoenix and Sigourney Weaver, Adrien Brody, William Hurt and Bryce Dallas Howard, to bring the thrilling tale of an isolated village confronting the astonishing truth that lies just outside its borders.

The evil and foreboding force is so unnerving that none dare venture beyond the borders of the village and into the woods. But when curious, headstrong Lucious Hunt plans to step beyond the boundaries of the town and into the unknown, his bold move threatens to forever change the future of the village.
