Unbreakable 4K 2000 Ultra HD 2160p

Elijah suffered broken arms and legs while still in the womb. All his life he was a walking disaster, ending up in a wheelchair by middle age. Mother, seeing that all the misfortunes of Elijah attracts like a magnet, gave him a set of comics, which the boy was carried away by for life, seriously studying them. David Dunn was always the only survivor of the worst disasters, where everyone died, and David did not receive a scratch. And I never got sick. All his life Elijah worked on deciphering comics, and David tried to figure out his gift, not finding use for it.

Unbreakable 4K Review
David Dunn turns out to be the only survivor of a terrible train crash. His casual acquaintance Elijah explains this by the fact that David is a superhero. In recent years, it has become fashionable to deconstruct a movie comic strip - Zach Snyder did it in The Guardians, and Matthew Vaughn in the Kick-Ass movie. They have made their way into superheroes, deprived of fairy tale abilities and people who have read about adventures. But Shyamalan was the first to dig under the mythology of the comics, and his plan was initially much more ambitious: to deprive the genre of its main trump card - entertainment.

Only, following this path, the director overdid it a little, mercilessly emasculating all the fantastic and fabulous elements from the picture, and instead loading it with the psychology of a standard family drama. Willis's character walks slowly and sadly back and forth with a serious face and wearily sort out his relationship with his wife. The author spends a teaspoon per hour on events significant for the plot: David finds out that he has never been sick in his life, then remembers that he remained unharmed in an old accident, then discovers the ability to telepathy. His antipode, a cripple with too fragile bones, a vulnerable Elijah nicknamed "Mr. Glass", sits meaningfully in a comic book store, staring at one point. Nothing happens.

Shyamalan manages to stretch even the climactic scenes to the point of impossibility - when the son points a gun at his father, or when David goes on the trail of the alleged criminal. Although, perhaps, the director deliberately forges the atmosphere of a drawling nightmare. The trademark Shyamalan trick, the unexpected end, gives the film depth, but you still have to endure these last minutes, which is almost two hours of screen time. Whether the game was worth the candle depends on whether the viewer inadvertently managed to guess the final twist ahead of time.
