We rented and watched Unbreakable last night.
First off, let me say that I had a hard time getting into it because I have a personal dislike of dark murky scenes. I realize it is a deliberately chosen style here and there is nothing wrong with this technique, but I just hate it. I hate dimly lit or dark rooms irl and I hate dark murky movies.
LD found it really boring and commented that she was glad we never got around to seeing it at the theatre as she didn't think it was worth the cost.
I found it to move slowly, but it intrigued me enough that I couldn't just turn it off. I wanted to see where it was going. I loved the interaction between the Dad and the son. I also found the scenes between husband and wife well done. They picked up the tone of a marriage in trouble but not yet completely broken very well. The scene between the 13 yr old Glass and his Mom, reflected in the TV set was also well-done, imo. However, that was the point at which LD exasperately exclaimed "why is everything being shown in reflections!?"
So, I guess I'd say I'm glad I rented it, but agree with LD about it not being worth the price of an outing to the theatre and it's not on my list of movies to re-watch.
