Review of Glass

Glass (2019)
9/10
A Whole New World
28 January 2019
How Glass (2019) brings the stories and characters together from Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016) is fascinating. The story takes place 15 years after the first movie and 3 weeks after the second. It's a smart plot that stays away from clichés and never becomes extraordinary. The superpowers from David Dunn (Bruce Willis), Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) and The Beast (James McAvoy) aren't predominantly present. That makes this movie an interesting counterweight to the Marvel and DC movies (which we are overloaded with). Director and writer M. Night Shyamalan created a whole new world with this trilogy and he has given the 'superhero vs. villain theme' a new perspective.

Most praise goes out to the acting performance of James McAvoy. His portrayal of numerous characters (about 13) is unrivalled. It was a great pleasure to see him transform into personalities time after time and playing them all convincingly.
