Glass is the final in the Unbreakable trilogy. This time Mr. Glass finally sees his masterminded plot to fruition.
Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, Glass is about...well it's about these superheroes. They are supposed to be, at least that's the question throughout the film. It's a hesitation that really cuts the film down from being better.
Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn from Unbreakable. He's better in this than he has been as of recent. That's not saying much, he doesn't really do much of importance.
Samuel L. Jackson returns as Mr. Glass who for most of the film he's just sitting there doing nothing. The film is called class but really it's more about James McAvoy's character in the first half of the movie.
James McAvoy plays the same characters from Split. He's great at changing over and switching between them but I got enough of that in Split. After a while, I was just waiting for other characters to do something.
Sarah Paulson is the woman from the trailer who plays a doctor who is trying to help these men see that they are not really superheroes. They build her up a lot but in the end, did she even do anything?
There are spoilers for how and why this film underperforms. There isn't a conclusion to plot points that needed to be finished. It really feels like a half wrapped present that was given to you by someone you don't know. "Uhhh thanks?"
Result: C- It's a disappointment, it has flaws but most of them are in writing and delivery and not direction.
