Critics Consensus

With a weaker ending, Unbreakable is not as a good as The Sixth Sense. However, it is a quietly suspenseful film that intrigues and engages, taking the audience through unpredictable twists and turns along the way.

4/4

"Unbreakable" is likely to stand the test of time as long as stories about superheroes - or heroes in general - are still sought by scared, suffering human beings.

This compelling conundrum of a film marks the maturity of Sixth Sense director M Night Shyamalan as a distinctive, even remarkable filmmaker.

4/5

Unbreakable is slow, even stately, but the underlying excitement of The Sixth Sense is still there, and Willis is a perfect centre for a story that plays games with expectation

Comic-book fan or not, Unbreakable is the closest to what reality would be if superheroes really existed.

...Even though Unbreakable's superhero side is shaky, Shyamalan's fourth film is ultimately a success—as best seen in the strength of the Dunn family story and a genuinely exciting climactic fight.

Unbreakable is Shyamalan's most underrated film. It's purely a masterpiece and is only considered worse then the sixth sense because of the twist at the end but this film is more than just a superhero film. It's a work of art.

This movie mainly focuses on story and not much else however the story is a very good one and you can very easily get ingrosed which makes the rest of the film so much better. The movie has a great cast, great characters and great dialogue being one of shyamalans best films as it stands

Very few people are "True" visionaries and I think Shyamalan's talent for storytelling just might be his secret "super power". In addition, James Newton Howard's incredibly bone chilling score for this film is the epitome of a majestic theme. Together with brilliant performances from all the leads, this film is an underrated CLASSIC...
