Unbreakable (2000)
M. Night Shyamalan's follow-up to his megahit The Sixth Sense. Bruce Willis is David Dunn, an ordinary man who makes an extraordinary discovery when a train accident leaves his fellow passengers dead and him unscathed. Searching for answers, he starts to find them in the mysterious Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a man who suffers from a disease that renders his bones as fragile as glass.

The New York Times
What Unbreakable shows is Mr. Shyamalan's remarkable growth as a director.
Full reviewRoger Ebert
Even if the ending doesn't entirely succeed, it doesn't cheat, and it comes at the end of an uncommonly absorbing movie.

An intriguing story executed with visual panache and fine acting performances.

Great performances, moments and ideas. If it doesn't provide the tidy ending that made The Sixth Sense a talking-point, that might not be a bad thing.
