Unbreakable (2000)

In the same year, M. Night Shyamalan released, probably, his last good movie. Unbreakable starred Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson and is not at all your average superhero movie.

David Dunn, the main character, finds out that he has this strange ability, which renders him immune to any kind of physical harm – he is unbreakable. On the other side of the spectrum is Elijah Price, who is nothing like him – his bones can break at the slightest impact.

David Dunn wants to see if he is indeed unbreakable and he soon discovers that he also has other abilities, such as super strength and extra-sensory perception. So he starts fighting crime as an anonymous hero.

Marketed by the director as a superhero flick, Unbreakable is mainly considered as a psychological thriller. To be noted, it is one of Quentin Tarantino’s favorite flicks.
