Unbreakable

12:50am Sunday 26 November 2000

We just saw Unbreakable. I left the movie not as impressed as I wanted to be. I recognize that it's not because I was expecting Sixth Sense, but because I was expecting the entire movie to be as good as the trailer!

Each scene was slow moving, but relatively short time-wise. This allowed a lot of scenes were packed in to make the entire film, and still keep it from being toooo long. I found it suspenseful and a bit spooky with a cool surprise ending. I give it 6 thumbs up out of 10.

Good for trivia: Near the end of the movie, when we got to see Elijah (Samuel L Jackson) in his "office," I noticed an error in a headline tacked to his wall: "EXPECT" instead of "EXCEPT" in the phrase "NONE SURVIVED EXPECT ONE" or something.

I notice this was a very inexpensive movie to produce. Not a single car wreck, and only 1 stunt that I noticed. Well, okay there was 1 car wreck, but the wreck wasn't shown; they may have just bought a junk car and turned it upside down.
