"There are two reasons why I'm looking at you like this. One because it seems in a few minutes you will officially be the only survivor of this train wreck, and two, because you didn't break one bone, you don't have a scratch on you." - ER doctor

Why watch this? This engrossing film takes its time, and it is a good slow burn.

Plot Summary: David Dunn, a security guard and sole survivor of a devastating train crash, finds himself unharmed while 131 others perish. This inexplicable survival draws the attention of Elijah Price, a comic book art dealer with a rare condition making his bones extremely fragile, leading him to believe David possesses superhuman abilities.

Dad's Preview: As a comics nerd, this film is right down my alley. A man miraculously survives a train crash. His son starts to think that he may be invincible. When a brittle comic book collector seeks the man out, we begin to learn the truth. This Shyamalan film has twists and turns on its suspenseful way to a very satisfying ending.
