Unbreakable
2000
****
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Robin Wright Penn, Charlayne Woodard

This bleak drama was inspired by comic books. It tells a story of two men, one who seems to be invulnerable and the other one who is frail as glass. Structurally it's very similar to The Sixth Sense, apart from the slightly disappointing ending. However, Shyamalan creates some ingenious set pieces and the overall mood of the film is very intense. The character returns in Glass.
