movie review - Unbreakable
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Sydney, 2000.12.02
This flick is about an ordinary man (marriage in trouble, one kid, job as a security guard) who survives an extraordinary train crash. When he does (and he's the sole survivor), he's contacted by a wealthy comic book collector who believes that the survivor has special powers.
Needless to say, the collector turns out to be right. It's not a happy movie, but it's an interesting one, and a well-directed one. Throw in a surprise at the end, and you've got a story that involves a superhero but seems possible.
Recommended.
