Hmmm ... Unbreakable.

A bit of a strange movie to rate or describe.

I'm not sure whether to class this as a Comic book movie, a thriller, or something else entirely: It's not based on any comic (that I know of), but does have superheroes and villains as its main driving force.

In this, Bruce WIllis plays an everyman security guard who miraculously survives a train crash without a single cut or bruise, while Samuel L Jackson is his exact opposite: a man born with bones so brittle that they break at the slightest provocation.

As a M Night Syamalan movie, you'd be expecting a twist at the end - this, indeed, I feel is part of the problem: if Shyamalan wasn't known for twists, the ending would have had more impact than it did!!

There's just something by the (ex)Wrestler named The Rock, and his films.

Big, dumb action films for the most part.

And that, in my book, is a good thing.

In this, he plays a former FBI agent who is now a security expert (following his disastrous last mission, which cost him a leg) who must now rescue his family from inside a burning building in Hong Kong - the Skyscraper of the title, and the highest building in the world - while the local police believe he is responsible for starting the fire (he is, of course, being framed for the same).

I only saw this on the small screen: I can only imagine what the various vertiginous stunts would have looked like on the big screen!
