M. Night Shyamalan's excellent superhero movie, taking the concepts behind comic book based superheroes, and applying them to the real world.

Bruce Willis plays a man who has never had a days sickness in his life, and Samuel L. Jackson plays an individual who suffers from some form of debilitating brittle bone disease. If he so much as knocks gently against a hard surface, his bones snap, leaving him in tremendous pain.
Inevitably, their lives become intertwined, as Jackson's Elijah Price convinces Willis's Dunn that he is in fact a superhero, and that comic books are in fact an ancient form of storytelling.
The clues he finds in the comic books lead him to believe that Dunn is more than he seems, and Elijah himself may well be more than he appears too.....

Intelligent and thought provoking, with great performances from the two leads, this is, in my humble opinion, a far superior film than the much hyped The Sixth Sense.
Watch it.
