Unbreakable. 2000.

David Dunn is the sole survivor of a train crash and learns something extraordinary about himself.

After The Sixth Sense M. Night Shyamalan created something very different that focuses on comic book collector Elijah Price played brilliantly by Samuel L. Jackson who suffers from a genetic disorder that his bones break and finds out there is someone opposite to him, David played by Bruce Willis, who isn't a action star but a family man in a simple job with problems.

This isn't really fast paced but slow that is done deliberately for the character build up between the two main stars as we learn from their past, there can be moments of tension that is built up greatly with a good back ground score and does have Shyamalan's idea of a good twist added in with Price's ending speech that makes it feel like a superhero film with his nickname "Mr Glass".

I've never seen this but bought Glass cheaply from Sainsbury's. I turned it off after twenty minutes. I never turn off films. It was unwatchable.

Unbreakable is certainly worth a watch and it's a lot better than The Village and The Happening

I bet it's not a comedy classic like Signs though.

I was laughing out loud at the car crash scene with the tree whilst in the cinema. I was getting some looks as well from people who thought i was being insensitive but it was so funny.

Watching that bit I thought is she gonna say "tell Scarlett I don't give a dam" the way Jim Carrey said it in The Mask

Rage. 2017.(aka Instant Death)

John Bradley, a former Spec Ops soldier suffering PTSD decides to travel to England and re-connect with his daughter and granddaughter. After seeing a killing, the local mob boss decides to attack his family, John wants his revenge.

I don't think i have seen anything done by director Ara Paiaya but he seems to get praise for his work, half the cast I don't think I have seen or heard of except main stair Lou Ferringo. At the Age of being 63-64 he still has the big physique and he doesn't slow down while packing a good punch.

This does have a lot of violence and some moments may be upsetting to others with a violent rape, beating, this may be seen as a British version of Death Wish and Rambo mixed together, although at times Ferringo seems to find it tough to act this was entertaining.

I recently bought the Blu-ray of Unbreakable after watching a video in which Quentin Tarantino named it as one of his favourite movies from 1992-2009. I've seen it once but can't remember what I thought about it at the time.

I wanted to watch again before re-watching Split.

That was it - Split...not Glass.
