This is a very good and very different movie about the origins of a superhero. If you're expecting action from start to finish, this isn't the movie you're looking for. But if you want to watch a well told story about a family brought together by an incredible gift, this is a good place to start.

The interaction between Bruce Willis's character David Dunn and his son is the real highlight. His son's insistence on Dunn's super-abilities provides the funniest, scariest and most touching sequences of the entire film. This mood here is quiet and cautious; the dialogue is sparse, but every word seems required. Many complain about M. Night Shyamalan's need to give the viewers a surprise or twist ending, but it also endears him to many, especially fans of Hitchcock and Serling. Personally, this is an asset of his films as far as I'm concerned.

"Unbreakable" is a movie with two endings. One an extremely touching moment between Dunn and his son. The other is a revealing meeting between Dunn and Elijah (Samuel Jackson). My viewing of this movie on Blu-Ray provided a one sentence "Whatever happpened to..." at the very end of the film for both the Dunn and Elijah characters. I can't recall seeing that during the theatrical run but it was information that really wasn't needed and it detracted a bit from the ending.
