Kurt Loder Reviews Glass: New at Reason

Unusually for an M. Night Shyamalan project, the real plot twist in Glass comes not at the end of the movie but about halfway through, when you realize it won’t be getting any better and is in fact getting worse by the minute.

A sequel to Shyamalan’s Unbreakable has been tantalizing fans for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately, the director always had better things to do. (If only he had done them, instead of making the wretched Lady in the Water and After Earth.) Then, two years ago, at the conclusion of Split, the psycho-thriller that brought him back to the box-office bigtime, Shayamalan tacked on a tiny scene that featured Unbreakable protagonist David Dunn (Bruce Willis) making ominous mention of that earlier movie’s villain, Mr. Glass, who had been played by Samuel L. Jackson, writes Kurt Loder.
