Unbreakable Review - Off The Shelf Reviews

[@Horror-Man]

Quite possibly the most underrated film of all time!!

[@xenablossom4682]

I just saw Unbreakable and Split for the first time back-to-back. I can say they are truly amazing films and I can't wait for Glass next year.

[@mikesutton381]

Cant wait for Glass!!!!

[@chriswilliams-ks7vh]

I always thought that the recurrence of UPSIDE DOWN Shots were a big clue that elijah had something to do with the train crash. 1= davids kid is watching the tv upside down first seeing the train crash. 2= elijah sees his 1st comic book upside down. 3= elijah falls down the subway stairs and his view is upside down 4=elijah finds the comic of sentry man in the store.The comic is upside down. 5= The scene when david visits the train wreck, the "Keep Out" sign on the fence is upside down. Is it me or is the clue - Train wreck = Elijah Price. He did it!

[@rebornstillborn]

Might also have something to do with his up-side-down view of the world, which turned him into a villain.

[@michaelaurban4120]

I am still greatly enjoying binging on all your videos, and I love hearing you two talk and discuss these films. I’ve been sharing your videos with friends also, so truly - thank you for taking your time to make all these videos! You have a wonderful channel, and you two are really fun to watch :)

[@whoawtf7419]

I love Gary's reaction to Iain comparing Avatar The Last Airbender and Dragonball Evolution. He physically struggles to think about them both at the same time xD

[@brandonarlo]

Love this film, was a great experience in the cinema, have watched multiple times and really dig the feel of the film. I thought Split was real good also, but for me Unbreakable is solid all round with amazing music and maybe one of Bruce Willis's best that ended his awesome run of movies from the 90's.

[@putridsunrise192]

You guys forgot to mention Blade which came out before the big 2000's superhero boom. With that being said you should review the Blade trilogy!

[@seanmcdaniel142]

Love the duality of both your relationship, Gary is very articulate, and Iain is very entertaining, keep it up boys

[@xenablossom4682]

I love how Shyamalan went out of his way to cast Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson against type, and show everyone they can do subtle dramatic acting. Chevy Chase tried to do the same with "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" but it didn't work out but here, with "Unbreakable", it really worked for Bruce and Sam. Same way Bruce Willis showed his dramatic acting chops in "The Sixth Sense" beforehand.

[@xenablossom4682]

Many say that Unbreakable got screwed over by its marketing campaign since the studio basically forbade Shyamalan from describing it as a comic book superhero movie for whatever reason. Then they made the trailers in such a way that gave people the wrong idea that Unbreakable was some kind of psychological thriller.

[@readerofmanga]

Definitely an underrated masterpiece and Shyamalan's masterpiece of filmmaking. The film should be re-released worldwide so that the box office results from 2000 can increase, that would make the film and cult fans happy. This should definitely deserve a re-release.

[@vinniecorleone62]

Another delightful deconstruction between you both, as a big fan of the Director & his films I quite enjoyed your take on it! I loved this film & have it & most of his others in my massive library, I too await the sequel. Loved "Signs", probably my last big favorite of his next to recent "Split". I would love to see you both review "Split" if you haven't already!

[@johnashley327]

You guys should review The Six Sense and Signs.

[@DemonBoy3223]

This film has become my favorite Shyamalan film, it is possibly his most criminally underrated film ever, a true work of art from him, an amazingly stellar, deconstructed-&-grounded take on the superhero film genre, and one of Bruce Willis' very best roles. I love how it shows what would happen if someone miraculously survived a freak accident and starts to realize he may be a superhero. I was really surprised by _Split,_ quite possibly James McAvoy's very best roles as a man suffering from DID with 24 personalities. I was happy to realize that it was a standalone sequel to _Unbreakable,_ and am very much excited for _Glass_ this month, I don't care if it turns out underwhelming, I'm not gonna let any negativity derail my attempt to enjoy it.

[@BirdsElopeWithTheSun09]

Surprised you guys didn't mention the score, amazing work by James Newton Howard, almost as good as his "Dinosaur" score.

[@matthias_samahl1266]

it's been over 10 years since i've seen this, i remember thinking it was okay. I like sixth sense, signs and the village, whether they're good i'm not sure but i really like them. Even have kind of a soft spot for lady in the water.

[@jgedutis]

M Night Shyamalan should show Paul W.S. Anderson how to shoot a movie without cuts every 1.3 seconds

[@xenablossom4682]

He should show many directors how to do that.

[@MrHereWeGoYo]

The kid playing the son was awesome.

[@blastermaster5009]

I had a similar experience with this film when it first came out. I absolutely loved it, but all of my friends thought it was slow and boring (granted we were in Middle School at the time, so maybe their opinions have changed since then). Ultimately I feel like I was on the right side of history, considering this movie has amassing quite a cult following and in a couple of months there will be a trilogy of movies set in this universe.

[@PastaMusicMusic]

It's going to be revealed at the end of Glass that the Unbreakable universe takes place in an intergalactic no fly zone where the people living in it live like they did in the old days and Bruce Willis is a descendant of the aliens from Signs. Big world out there for Shyamalan

[@DaveHorgan.]

I sat n watch Unbreakable and Split back to back last night and I gotta say they blew me away. Loved both of them n went to bed gagging to see Glass. You guys have got to review Split soon! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it guys 😁

[@johnathanking9885]

unbreakable, split, and glass were an excellent trillogy.

[@SeekerOTheWay]

I really loved this film in the theatre, I was pretty upset that no one wanted to talk about it with me! In Split, it is the end, and ... THAT MUSIC pops up. Somehow I remembered it. That is how good that film is. SO, I went through many ideas at once. Pft, how original, composer ... wait, it isnt' similar, it is exactly UNBREAKABLE? then that means .... OH MY GOOOOOOD HOW COOOOOOL! I was so happy! Lots of people in the theatre also enjoyed that part, so lots of them must have seen and remembered Unbreakable and loved that connection. They were kind of taken out of the movie with the twist of McElroy, but they loved this part. What is interesting is that UNBREKABLE and SPLIT are different genre movies form each other. So it makes me really curious what will be done with GLASS.

[@xenablossom4682]

I've heard that in the original longer screenplay, David was going to save Casey and the two other girls from Kevin at the end of the film before Shyamalan replaced them with the Orange Man and the family he takes hostage, and moved Kevin and the girls into what became Split.

[@haisaid]

How did I miss your review of this???

[@JanisTreijs]

You guys are so awesome! I`m loving every video of yours!

[@xenablossom4682]

Shyamalan has noted "Split" as "Unbreakable 2" with "Glass" being "Unbreakable 3"

[@extrasmack]

Good to hear someone other than myself actually enjoyed and praises Unbreakable for what it is. Also enjoyed The Sixth Sense and Signs. Never seen any of the others mentioned but will keep an eye open for them. Interesting to hear Split is arguably part of the same universe. Will have to start there. 👍

[@nickneo5853]

there's a Fantastic Four Easter egg when David's son is watching the news the 4 at the upper right hand corner of the screen is the FF superhero team's logo

[@patterrum]

Please do a review of Basic Instinct. There's not a decent review of this on line anywhere and you both could do it justice!!

[@Luvie1980]

John Hales cinemasins did a pretty good job.

[@xenablossom4682]

About David Dunn being an alliterative name, the same applies to Casey Cooke and Kevin Crumb in "Split".

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Such a great movie. I agree that its one of the only movies where Samuel L Jackson actually acts

[@xenablossom4682]

Reviews for The Village and The Visit would be cool.

[@allh0t]

Could you guys Please do a review of 'Logan's Run'? Classic 1970's B-grade science-fiction :)

[@jorel4477]

Love to see Stand by me Groundhog day

[@AarenJable]

Great review, I like this film. Looking forward to the next video!

[@louisthompson4712]

I found you guys about a week ago. In that time I have watched more of you than anything, That includes TV & movies.

[@Magicstockton]

That urban legend wasn’t Mr. Reeve. It was George Reeves.

[@willschwarting2224]

Gonna have to give this film another go. Great review guys! Thanks for keeping me entertained at work. Film request - Killing Gunther

[@Luvie1980]

M Night Shyamalans best film.

[@geoffreygershon]

Great review guys!

[@10md.]

a theory about signs (not mine): the aliens aren't aliens they're demons and the world just assumed they were aliens, its not water that kills them or hurts them its holy water (Mel Gibson's a Reverend)...... there's a deleted scene in unbreakable, bruce Willis lifts the NFL players weights

[@AdrianMendoza23]

Please do a review of Split when Iain finds time to watch it.

[@JoeyMartz]

You guys should review, "Wicker Park" (2004).

[@controlZchannel]

Never heard of the Unbreakable series until recently. I feel like I was abducted by aliens and have missing time; no idea how I never heard of them.

[@malieberg1]

When I was very young I almost drowned and my father saved me. I have no memory of it, so it isn't far off that the character couldn't either.....

[@Pntngbrn]

Great review, I love this film. For the subject matter that it's tackling, it's such a quiet film in so many place. I thought the score was amazing. And funny enough since you guys mentioned it I'll tell you something interesting. When I was 11 yrs old, I suffered a trauma. My life was in danger and I subsequently suppressed it. So much so that I had no memory of it until an event that snapped it back into my consciousness when I was 30. So that can happen to people, it's wild.

[@AubreyTheKing]

Another good M. Night Shyamalan film next to the Sixth Sense!? I never heard about this movie till now! Great review guys! Now, I'm curious about this movie!

[@AngelCruz-pd1hc]

Wasn't blade who started the craze of superhero

[@overdsemedia]

You got your Supermans confused. The story about a kid pointing a gun at a Superman actor was shown in Hollywoodland. It happened to George Reeves.

[@williamrossiter3559]

It wasn’t christopher reeve who the gun pointed at him. It was a Guy who played superman in fifties

[@shawnallen9275]

Awesome. You guys ought to do more superhero films and/or Christopher Nolan movies. Respect...

[@boshrek4759]

You guys are great!! Try to get "THE OTHERS" with Nichol Kidman in there some time

[@jorel4477]

Back to great films I love. Fantastic

[@the25thprime]

This film was also kind of ahead of its time in addressing the gatekeeping asshole fans, that’s who Glass is

[@d3nv1]

Thanks again Guys, Great film for me, alaways loved it (Split was awesome too) - also Fab review (as usual!)

[@jamiewilson6850]

I want to know about that guy was who was the second longest survivor of the train wreck

[@thecaptain4512]

For a gaming Friday you two should review Prototype for the 360

[@531katie]

This was one of the those chilling films that stayed with me a long time and I hope you guys clarify what for me is the point and I may be totally wrong so please help me out 🙏🏼 Especially on how I see or read the ending which is not as the big twist I was waiting for after the unexpected shock to the final moments of “6th Sense” but more a surprise for the lack of something complicated. Almost anticlimactic was the simpleness of explanations that caught me off guard …for not catching me off guard. Almost a twist in reverse was learning that Elija’s character is simply that of a sick sick man carrying out his deadly deeds as a miserable victim whose self-pitying mess of a life asks “why me?” ,

[@531katie]

A lot more to the film and characters than that but it’s what I found most disturbing, someone so seemingly weak and ineffectual could wreak as much havoc and misery in the world that he later says thinks needs a hero. “We sure could use a hero ..” Definitely. To offset the self imposed martyrdom role, a convenient position to escape accountability.

[@rileylallier429]

I love Unbreakable and though its not as good as the Sixth Sense in my opinion for me its his second best movie.

[@531katie]

A lot more to the film and characters than that 1 aspect of an ending where I wish there were an twist. …. but it’s what I found most disturbing, someone so seemingly weak and ineffectual could wreak as much havoc and misery in a world he later remarks “needs a hero…” . “We could sure use a hero…” Definitely. To offset the self-imposed role of martyrdom by some who hope in crying victim their vile acts of destruction will escape accountability.

[@borednow5838]

Don't think Shyamalan did direct Devil. Think he might have had a hand in the screenplay or possibly produced. This and The Sixth Sense remain his best films from what I've seen. Need to catch up with Split. Nice review anyway.

[@alexcamarena1351]

Watch the trailer. Glass is on right now.

[@williamhiers1280]

Uh, I see a full head of hair in Die Hard with a Vengeance, he is just thinning at the hairline.

[@TheBeird]

Shyamalan, do do de do do Shyamalan, do do dee do Shyamalan, do doo de do De do do, de do do, de de de do de do . . . I'm doing the Muppets. Not typing anymore

[@55bueller]

Holy fucking awesome my favourite Shymalan Film!!! It's so terrific! Kevin's parents died in the train crash. Trust Ian to blame the mum!

[@jemiahdapap8053]

The Happening. 1950s style, 2000 look. You guys completely forgot about that one.

[@giantjulez9632]

They aren't the only ones. Trying to forget it myself.

[@oliverpengilley]

Iain....ha ha, I have Brittle Bones....its a real thing. I have Broken hundreds of bones...no one called me Mr Glass though! lol, kids in the UK are not as smart, they just called me snappy-legs. ha ha. Love the review and its a great movie. :)

[@danielrees6884]

Another underrated m night film is The Visit a film that was the start of his comeback before he did Split. Check it out.

[@lectornox]

Frailty Matthew McConaughey (Great Film) (Excellent)

[@tommynoren1]

Do Split! :D

[@UnCreativeDeconstructionism]

*Turn up*

[@Protoman85]

DO OZ

[@vanssan1414]

you guy's are good

[@AndrewHealey]

Great review guys but your dates are slightly wrong x men came out about 4 months before this and and signs came in 2002 before the village and lady in the water

[@skaro85]

Glass was disappointing

[@craigrivers82]

john carpenters the thing!!!!!

[@jamesmoseley5428]

I didn’t buy the relationship between Bruce Willis and his wife at all. That dynamic almost took me out of the movie. I’m sorry but if you’re in the early process of separating from your husband, and he is the soul survivor of a horrific accident, you’re gonna give him a huge hug. Most likely you’re going to have sex with him and instantly regret it, or you’re going to have a private scene crying. This isn’t your college boyfriend that fucked your whole frat house. You tried to build a life and a family with this guy. This is where m knight started to show his weakness for manufacturing awkward drama at the expense of the humanity of these characters. This relationship dynamic would set the stage for that stupid couple in the happening.

[@barbarosb9900]

🐐🐐

[@Grandmastergav86]

In the camp who disliked The Sixth Sense...this...yawn.

[@irllcd13]

I'm utterly indifferent on Sixth Sense but I actually like Unbreakable. It's not great, but I like it. It's the only Shyamalan movie I can stand.
