Glass (2019) – Film Review
I’ll be the first to admit this: My expectations for Glass were pretty high, even before the trailers dropped. Unbreakable is one of M. Night Shyamalan’s first works—riding the coat-tails of The Sixth Sense, to be sure, but a solid film, in its own merit. One of a good number, before “the crash”. Congruently, 2016 (or 2017, depending on what source is referenced) gave us Split—a stand-alone terror piece that hinted at something more happening behind the scenes—a true awakening of real-world “superheroes”, for lack of a better term…and practically no one saw the mid-credits twist of Bruce Willis’s David Dunn showing up as sequel-bait. All that on the table, this had to be the Shyamalan movie to pull him back from his rut—the one to resurrect him as not only a student of the masters—Hitchcock, chief among those inspirations—but an icon, in his own right.
