The Unbreakable Series Shatters in Glass

Published

on

If you were a fan of the film Unbreakable, it was only the starting point in a series that would spur on other supernatural characters from this world. Glass, the final movie in this series, revisits the events from Unbreakable and Split, the sister movie about a man with superhuman personas and diagnosed with multiple personality disorder.

Glass brings things to ahead, where the authorities no longer stand idle in the wings waiting for things to settle on their own.

Bruce Willis as David Dunn/The Overseer in “Glass,” written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

The movie brings back familiar characters: Bruce Willis as David Dunn, Samuel L. Jackson, Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard from “Unbreakable” and James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy from “Split”.

The story starts as David and his son Joseph are taking down criminals who have avoided capture.

Dubbed “The Overseer”, David uses his supernatural powers of perception to discover the whereabouts of four kidnapped cheerleaders who have been taken by “The Horde”, a criminal with dissociative multi-personality disorder. Trying to prevent a catastrophe, David encounters “Hedwig” one of “The Horde’s” in-control alternate personals and gathers the information he needs to set the girls free.

They end up being captured by the authorities and a psychiatrist who is determined to prove that super humans do not exist. Both David and Kevin are taken into custody in a mental institution where Mr. Glass is being held.

Through this part of the movie it is a constant plan to break out of the facility. The doctor uses water to keep David at bay and flashing lights to keep “The Horde” in his docile persona. All the while Mr. Glass reveals his plan to Kevin and enlists his help to break free. He sets up a trap that forces David to comply with Glass’s plans.

The movie for the most part has some good action to keep those who were vested in the Unbreakable trilogy vested. It’s definitely not a one-off movie and to get a good sense of what is happening you must see the other two; “Unbreakable” and “Split”.

Although Shyamalan is known for his twist endings, “Glass” was pretty predictable and the world building in this particular movie wasn’t similar to the first two. There were many questions to be had as to convincingly brainwash all the personalities of a multi-personality diagnosed human that none of them were superhuman.

It is a rental and a necessity if you want to complete the story but offers little in the way of closure.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan.

Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997.
