After the surprise revelation at the end of Split, Shyamalan's dual-sequel unites Split and Unbreakable in this interesting mash-up. Low-budget and low-key, the film makes a generally good job of meshing together the characters and ideas behind the two previous instalments, and whilst many of the plot points are too heavily signposted and talked to death, it does maintain interest. James McAvoy is once again completely watchable as he delivers multiple personalities impeccably and with impressive turn of speed, Samuel L Jackson certainly knows how to deliver a line, and Bruce Willis shows he still has screen presence and thankfully is not required to show too wide a range here. The narrative lurches along at times, but Shyamalan directs efficiently if a little unevenly and leads to a reasonable conclusion for the characters.
