Glass - 異裂

Glass (異裂) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Sarah Paulson, James McAvoy, and Anya Taylor-Joy. The movie is a direct sequel to Split (分裂) and takes place with characters from Unbreakable, a Bruce Willis movie from 2000. The trio of films was dubbed the Unbreakable Trilogy. The movie is portrayed as taking place in the general Philadelphia area, where M. Night Shyamalan grew up, the director of this film.



The Horde has caught a foursome of cheerleaders and intends to make them suffer. Skip over to David, the Unbreakable character, and he's a vigilante roaming the streets fighting crime. When David finds the Horde and battles the Beast, they are caught and sent to a mental ward for re-conditioning. The mental ward also holds Glass, the fragile bone man. Glass wants to team up with the Horde against David. Will they escape and unleash themselves on the public again?

In order to better understand Glass, you will need to have watch Unbreakable. They referenced that movie more than a few times and I was confused (I saw it once in 2000). Because Split (分裂) is more fresh in my mind, I didn't need to see that movie to understand the Horde. The acting of James McAvoy was outstanding. The rest of the cast was ok, with Sarah Paulson taking a distant second.

Interesting movie as there is a major twist. Is the twist worth it? If more movies come out of this that are intriguing, it is a Great TWIST! If the movies suck, than this movie was sucky.

Worth a watch for Shyamalan fans, but not a very straight forward film due to the complex themes it had to convey.
