Review

Great movie on so many levels.

There is a man (Samuel L. Jackson) who is called as a Glass by kids since his childhood. When he was born he already had bones broken and since then his life has always been hard. He has have a weak body, but he finds some kind of meaning for his life lerning abut comics because from comics he finds an idea that there should be somebody out there who is totally opposite of him. Somebody who is unbreakable.

There is a train accident where everybody except one man (Bruce Willis) dies. For the biggest surprise he does not even break anything on his body, he is totally unharmed. Mr. Glass gets in contact with this man who works as a security guard and explains his theory that maybe he is some kind of super hero like in comics who cannot get hurt. When he starts to think about pieces starts to fit in the puzzle and life takes different path.

I liked this movie a lot. Its plot was good, the story and character development was built well and there was interesting and surprising end.

There is multiple layers on this movie. On one hand it is a some kind of superhero movie, but on deeper level it is about finding your place and acecpting who you really are.

When you also add interesting camera usage, beautiful soundtrack and good acting then you have an excellent movie like this.
