From Glass.
When Kevin (James McCoy), a man with 24 different personalities, released Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy) instead of killing her with his most violent identity the Beast he simply moved on to other victims. Kevin’s killing spree across the city has alerted the attention of David (Bruce Willis) who can tell if a person is good or evil simply by bumping into them. David spends his time walking the streets looking for the killer hoping that he can find the latest four kidnap victims before it’s too late. However, David’s vigilanteism and Kevin’s mentally unstable violence quickly leads to them both being captured by police and placed in a psychiatric hospital under the care of Dr. Staple (Sarah Paulson) who is eager to test out her new therapy method on individuals who are delusional in their belief that they have super powers. Also in the hospital is Elijah “Glass” Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a brilliant but maniacal man who believes himself to be the villain to David’s hero, a man responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Each of the three men believe that they have superhuman abilities of some kind, and while David’s son (Spencer Treat Clark), Casey, and Elijah’s mother (Charlayne Woodard) try to get the men released, Dr. Staple tries to prove to each of the men that they are average and ordinary. However, what no one realizes until it’s far too late is that Elijah has been planning something for a long time that will pit the heroes against the villains in a battle where only one can prevail.
The culmination of writer/director M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable and Split storylines, this thriller takes a slower approach than some of the previous movies with the main emphasis forcing the three main characters to work through their self doubt. While all the acting is solid, McAvoy is absolutely brilliant in his role seamlessly switching from personality to personality. While Glass‘ end twist is not Shyamalan’s best, it is an unexpected ending that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat from start to finish in this thrilling movie.
