19 years after Unbreakable, what is now referred to as the 'Eastrail 177 Trilogy' finally concludes.
James McAvoy - Kevin Wendell Crumb/The Horde
Samuel L. Jackson - Elijah Price/Mr. Glass
Bruce Willis - David Dunn
Anya Taylor-Joy - Casey Cooke
Sarah Paulson - Dr. Ellie Staple
Spencer Treat Clark - Joseph Dunn
Summary
Three weeks after Split, Crumb and Dunn (hey, that nearly rhymes) are captured by the authorities for causing a ruckus on the streets and sent to Raven Hill Memorial, where a certain Mr. Glass was committed all those years ago.
Dr. Staple's speciality is disappointing individuals who believe they possess superhuman abilities.
Mr. Glass escapes cell and teams up with Crumb, who after flashing mid digit at personality-changing machine; is free to unleash The Beast.
Uh oh.
Enter the Dunn...
Brittle
McAvoy is very good (introducing several more personalities), and Sammy L. puts in an impressive shift, but Willis is remarkably sidelined - to the point of almost being surplus to requirements.
Despite controversial track record, I actually thought M. Night Shyamalan would leave me so high I'd be flying.
Unfortunately...
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest suddenly becomes a pseudo action thriller, and a rather shit one at that.
As soon as I clamped eyes on Staple, it was obvious that bitch would be dodgy.
Secret organisation covering up existence of superheroes?
Oh, members wear clover tattoo on wrist.
How subtle.
Is that the best asshole could come up with?
I'd like to say 'batshit brilliant' but no - decision is beyond fucking stupid.
