UNBREAKABLE  3.2***

     Unbreakable centers around two characters: David Dunn (Bruce Willis) and Elijah Price (Samuel L Jackson). David (Willis) is at a low point in his life. His wife has recently left him and taken his son, he has a poor job, and appears to be quite lonely. But then he is involved in a horrific train crash where, beyond all odds he is, out of 132 passengers and crew, the only survivor and, even more amazingly, walks away without a scratch. It is an unbelievable event. He is then pursued by Elijah( S. Jackson) who suffers from a bone disease  whereby his bones are very brittle and easily breakable. He tells David that there is something special about him, that he has special powers and in a sense is “unbreakable’. David is  trying to take all this in while also trying to re-establish relations with his son and wife.

Who would like this movie? This is a little like Sixth Sense in that it has some supernatural overtones but does not involve ghosts or dead people. There is a heavy comic book feel to it, which is intentional, but it isn't like X-Men or similar comic book movies except in a very subtle way. Overall the movie is quite low key and slow with very little action but an intelligent plot.  

I enjoyed this movie. I had seen it once before and it gets better with a second viewing. Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson are exceptional and it is well directed.  The plot is reasonably clever, perhaps a little labored, but I guess this is necessary for a “Hollywood” film..  

Rated PG-13 for mature  elements including some violent content and some offensive language.
