A man who has extremely fragile bones and is obsessed with comic books finds a man who cannot be injured. This "unbreakable" man has family troubles.
This has been incorrectly categorized as a superhero movie, but it's a drama. The hour and 42 minute duration seemed to alternate between the superhero story and the hero's family drama, with family drama always getting more time. It seemed like there were 2 plots that didn't quite meet. The 2 main characters were played by renowned actors who can do a good job in almost any role. I was disappointed by the toy store quote. I found this movie by looking up that quote after having read it on slipsum.com and expected it to be delivered more expressively. The acting was a little low-key and more drama than superhero. Sets and costumes consisted of normally dressed people in a city. Only Samuel L. Jackson's coat made an impression on me. As is typically the case, camera-work used lots of close-ups and underexposures with quicker editing cuts during the few, short action scenes. Audio was mixed correctly. I could hear dialogue, but the music again seemed more drama than action. This won 1/10 awards that it was nominated for, has a 7.2/10 on IMDB, 3/5 stars on AllMovie, Has a Metascore of 62% and user score of 8.6/10 on Metacritic and has 68% tomatometer and 77% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes for an average of 71%. I agree with the C- grade completely because it was unimpressive as action and sappy like a pine tree as drama. I rate this poor.
