Xxxxxx TBC M. Night Shyamalan keeps us guessing once more... DIRECTOR M. Night Shyamalan starring Samuel l. jackson, Bruce Willis , james mcavoy Warning: if you haven’t seen 2000’s Unbreakable or 2016’s Split (both by master manipulator M. Night Shyamalan) and are planning to, then jump straight to the final paragraph of this review – it’s spoiler free. If you’re still with us, then we’ll assume that you have watched these two now-classic thrillers and are as excited as we are by this final chapter. Yes folks, Glass is the trilogy concluder nobody saw coming (and now nobody can wait for), after it was revealed at the end of Split that antagonist Kevin Wendell shares the same universe as Unbreakable hero David Dunn (Bruce Willis) and fragile baddie Elijah Price, aka Mr Glass (Samuel L. Jackson). In this thrilling finale, Dunn uses his superhuman abilities to track down Kevin, whose inner beast is being deviously manipulated by Price. After several years in the critical wilderness, M. Night has rediscovered his ‘A’ game in recent years, and this rich vein of form continues with Glass. It’s exciting, it’s clever, it’s twist-packed.
