I've got a copy of Unbreakable and its an interesting variation on the superhero movie that probably does not get as much respect as it deserves.
Agreed. I especially like the aspects of discovering you are superhuman and not being happy about it.
I've got to agree with popular opinion on the other two, though. ::)
I'll give him a pseudo pass on After Earth. From what i've read, that train wreck was already well underway when he got involved. It is still a bad movie. But, so much of what I despise about After Earth isn't directorial. The writing is abysmal. Will Smith is not acting at the top of his game, but Jaden Smith has never performed well in anything, his own life included. Those casting decisions were made before Shyamalan stepped onto the set. If anything, Shyamalan's name being on the movie gives all other parties a scapegoat.
He is producing a show called Wayward Pines that looks like a Twin Peaks knock off. But, it stars Matt Dillon and Carla Gugino, who are usually good character actors.
