Reviews

People either rate it as a masterpiece or a garbage. So I'll give you a more useful review that's not tainted with too much emotion.

This movie is an absurd comedy. And absurd comedy is like grapefruit - if you're expecting the taste of orange, you will be disappointed. But if you come with an open mind and no expectations then you'll have a chance to enjoy this odd flavor. Just like that office on the 7 1/2th floor that has absurdly low ceiling where staff go on about their daily work all hunched, not betting an eye about the absurdity of it all.

The characters in the movie are odd and bizarre. They feel like they lack depth and they are hard to empathize or relate to. At first I blamed it on acting but then I realized this was deliberate. They are part of that bizarre, surreal world. And John Malcovic is the only normal person who finds himself in this bizarre world surrounded by twisted characters that act without morals and common sense. And this is when you're reminded of Truman Show.

It's worth watching but it's not for everyone. It won't become my next favorite movie but I've enjoyed being taken on a different, non-conventional, twisted journey where I found myself laughing many times.

The Glass is the end of a trilogy, that starts by Unbreakable and followed by Split. If you haven't watched the first two, then you will enjoy this movie more. I know makes no sense, but let me explain.

The plot of Glass is sort of toying with the idea if these three heroes are special. Or they're just regular people that are crazy and believe that they are special. This is why there are no special effects and CGI present in the movie. The director makes heroes and us doubt their supernatural abilities. But he doesn't realise that WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE PREVIOUS MOVIES. And they have proved quite fairly that these guys are pretty damn special! He has already shown us how strong David (Bruce Willis) is and how The Horde (James Mcavoy) can climb walls. So the movie tries quite unsuccessful to make us doubt of their abilities. Why? To shock us with an unexpected twist that they actually are special? We already know that they are. You have already done this trick in the first two movies Mr M. Night Shyamalan.

Besides the half-baked plot, there are several unconvincing characters, emotions that feel forced, awkward fighting scenes, and a mental hospital with a worse security than a university library.

Although, James Mcavoy makes the movie worth watching. His acting of multiple characters had already floored my in Split. I strongly recommend watching it. Unlike this dog's breakfast, Split was an absolute delight.
