Glass

THE GIST: David Dunn finally manages to track down Kevin Wendell Crumb, only to end up arrested with him and sent to a mental hospital that already detains Elijah Price, aka Mr. Glass. In the hospital, Dr. Ellie Staple, a psychiatrist who studied all of their cases, tries to convince them that they're not superhuman at all, but rather just the victims of circumstances.

Glass is the final chapter in M. Night Shyamalan's original supernatural trilogy, together with Unbreakable and Split.

In my opinion this one falls right in between those two, and is certainly enjoyable and intriguing.

James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, and Samuel L. Jackson wonderfully inhabit their by-now-well-known characters, joined by Sarah Paulson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlayne Woodard, and Spencer Treat Clark, reprising his role as David's son, now a grown-up.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I think that by now so many people have written Shyamalan off as a failed auteur, simply because they expected more from him after his inventive, genial, and very successful first movie (The Sixth Sense), that they fail to give him credit for good work or to just look at each of his films individually, rather than comparing them to "that one." If you're willing to give it a chance, I think you'll enjoy this movie, but you'd be well served from watching the trilogy in order, of course.
