M. Night Shyamalan Happens

(Page 2)

One year after The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan re-teamed with Bruce Willis and brought Samuel L. Jackson in on the action for Unbreakable. Reviews were mixed, and the film—which tells the story of the sole survivor of a horrific train crash—couldn’t break the $100 million mark stateside. But audiences looking for that signature “twist” ending were rewarded, even if it did seem “a little arbitrary, as if Shyamalan plucked it out of the air and tried to make it fit,” according to Roger Ebert.

M. Night Shyamalan is a genius. I will continue to watch his films whether it is a box office hit or not.
