Frightening/Intense Scenes:
Story: Security guard David Dunn uses his supernatural abilities to track Kevin Wendell Crumb, a disturbed man who has twenty-four personalities.
Likes: I'm kind of confused to whether I like this film or not, its good but I kind of found it hard to take seriously because of funny at moment with Kevin, if you every watched split you understand why. Which is why I think James McAvoy is a great actor to keep all those personalities flowing in one shot from scene to scene without break the immersion of his character, which is really hard for an actor/actress to do.
This most definitely not your average or typical hero movie, it more of a psychological thriller with people that can do extraordinary thing with a dark twist style story, that seems familiar with M. Night Shyamalan films.
Although I feel this is great there were a few areas where the film could've been improved more, especial with Bruce Willis character who started this trilogy with unbroken as I feel his character was underutilized, could've had a bit more scenes of him save people, though the film felt more of a villian film in a way.
Samuel L Jackson brilliant deception throughout the film, as well as delivering great dialogue which is the keys to what's going on, so it worth listening very carefully to what he saying in order for you to understand this film.
Visual this film is great using the lights to change or switch James character personality which is clever use of getting the right personality out and control them, its most differently a film you should take notices of what's being said, as it the key to what is actually going on rather than just visual showing the audience what's going on, which may be a little complicated for some people.
Even more, the complicated ending which most people might not get, but it was a very complicated and clever twist in an origin story that completely throws the other two film off guard, which may leave people confused but I assure you there is meaning to the ending.
If you like unbreakable and split you gonna love this film, it will depend on whether you get the ending or not because after watching it my self even I could tell it could confuse people, but it has a real meaning to a continuing universe.
Dislikes: Pacing is a bit slow at time and the ending can be confusing to some audiances which might be its downfall.
Overall: Great story, complicated ending that may be confusing for some. Great acting.
Rating: 4 out of 5 for Entertainment / 9 out of 10 for the third film.
