Any time I watch M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable, I remember Quentin Tarantino listing it as one of his favorite films, and concisely pitching it as a Superman story where Superman doesn’t know he’s Superman yet — a perfect description. And yet, Unbreakable, released in 2000, just missed Hollywood’s superhero boom, where it could have shaped the culture around it.
Unbreakable is underrated as one of the best superhero movies of all time
