M. Night Shyamalan's second major release gets the high definition treatment with excellent results. While first being advertised as a thriller, this slow moving, character rich drama is beautifully rendered on Blu-Ray.

Bruce Willis plays David Dunn, a shy, slightly depressed, security guard, who becomes the sole, untouched survivor of a train wreck. His family (Robin Wright Penn and Spencer Treat Clark) are struggling to keep it together. When Willis starts to receive messages frrom a mysterious comic book art collector (Samuel L. Jackson) Willis begins to realize that he is not ordinary. Jackson helps him to become aware that he has never been sick, and has never, ever been hurt. His boy also becomes excited at this possibility.

The Blu-Ray picture is outstanding, rendering realistic skin tones, and fully capturing the incredible camera work of this film. One scene that I particularly enjoyed involved Willis and Jackson in conversation at the stadium. The two figures are almost in shadow with a bright, white sky in the background as the camera slowly moves in. I tried to find a trace of ghosting around the characters and could not find any softness at all.

Sound is equally impressive when using the lossless option. While this film is mostly dialog based, the inclusion of sound when Willis touches people has an incredible impact on your viewing. The rush of sound brings life to the surround speakers that is overwhelming.

Extras included are in standard definition and are the extras from the original dvd. They include a lively discussion led by Samuel L. Jackson about comic books and include modern comic artists Frank Miller and Will Eisner. There is the "making of" featurette with Bruce Willis, a home video made by M. Night Shyamalan as a boy (he tries to include one of these on all his dvds), deleted scenes with intros by M. Night Shyamalan, and a multi-angle look at the train sequence.

"Unbreakable" is not a thriller but a smart, dream like film with excellent story and production values. The picture and sound on this Blu-Ray are outstanding and anyone who is a fan of the film will want to upgrade to Blu-Ray with this release.
