In a world dominated by comic book superhero movies of familiar concepts, it is so fresh to see a new director have a fresh spin on a genre. Glass is the thrilling conclusion to director M. Night Shyamalan’s superhero trilogy nineteen years in the making.

This movie follows Bruce Willis’ David Dunn from Unbreakable and James McAvoy’s Kevin Wendell Crumb from Split as they encounter each other and struggle to overpower one another, eventually ending up in a psych ward where none other than Samuel L. Jackson’s Elijah Price (Mr. Glass) is waiting. They meet a psychologist who believes they are not superheroes, but in fact have delusions. This leads to a journey of inner and outer struggles full of twists and turns.

I was beyond excited to see this movie, as I loved the first two, and I am glad to say I was not disappointed. McAvoy’s performance is worth the cost of admission alone, but everyone gave great performances throughout the movie.

The cinematography is also well done. There are a lot of breathtaking shots and M. Night’s experience in this field shows throughout the runtime of the movie. However, the movie is not perfect; the ending could be very polarizing for some fans, but it’s the perfect Shyamalan twist ending we’ve come to know from all of his movies. The second act of the movie is very slow. This might be a turn off for some people, but once you get through that part the movie is a roller coaster to the end.

If you are a fan of the first two films, this movie is a must see, but if you aren’t invested into these movies and characters, you won’t be missing out by not seeing this movie. While being a thrilling movie full of twists and turns, it does have some slow parts and a conclusion that may leave viewers with more questions than answers. I give this movie a 7/10.
