The critic consesnsus is: 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.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. Unadulterated poppycock.
2. M. Night Shyamalan's films are so different from the rest of the multiplex population that it surprises me that contemporary, supposedly impatient audiences would sit still for them.
3. Sets a new standard for genre pictures.
4. It is especially delightful for those who like puzzlers and think they can gather enough clues to take a stab at guessing the outcome.
5. During a conversation between an astonished doctor and a miraculously unscathed Dunne ... it's a measure of Shyamalan's restraint and his uncanny knack for storytelling.
6. Well-crafted, even thought-provoking film that's seriously marred by an awful ending.
7. Extremely competent in the hands of its crew.
8. Unbreakable is a compelling yarn.
9. Until the last-minute letdown, Shyamalan does a superb job of setting up his scenes.
10. If you can manage that precious, tentative suspension of disbelief, you'll find Unbreakable a rewarding meditation on the nature of heroes, both comic book and otherwise.
