Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Unbreakable
UNBREAKABLE is a movie written, produced and directed by M. Night Shyamalan in 2000.

Bruce Willis is the sole survivor of a terrible trainwreck. He's soon contacted by Samuel L. Jackson who's persuaded that Willis is a kind of superhero. Disturbed by Jackson's theories, Willis finally admits to himself and Jackson that he has the strange ability to feel the bad vibrations emitted by someone getting ready to commit a bad action.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
