Glass

It started with Unbreakable, then Split and culminates with Glass.

What if superheroes and super villains really existed?

What would they be like?  Would they wear outrageous costumes and go by equally absurd code names?  Would they have secret identities?

Or would they appear as normal human beings-faults and all?

Would they relish their powers or shun them and wish only to be normal?

What would happen should hero and villain meet?

Most of all would society, as a whole, believe such beings could exist or would they chalk them off as eccentric, abnormal and delusional?

In Glass, by director M. Night Shyamalan, starring Bruce Willis, Samuel L, Jackson, James McAvoy and Sarah Paulson, out on Blu-ray/ DVD/Digital, these are just of the few questions posed.

In the culmination of a 3-part saga David Dunn (the good guy) is chasing down bad guy: The Beast and eventually subdues him.

The police arrive and both The Beast and David are taken into custody and placed in an institute for the criminally insane.

David’s first nemesis, from Unbreakable, Mr. Glass, is also at the institute.

Measures are taken to ensure all three do not escape.  But when the three are brought together for therapy Mr. Glass puts his plan in motion resulting in the escape of David and The Beast.

After escaping David and The Beast clash in ever-increasing and violent encounters.  Mr. Glass manipulates the whole scenario from his asylum ward. 

Twists and turns abound as the film leads viewers into a strange and dangerous world of conspiracy and mystery ultimately to a conclusion that will send shocks reverberating throughout the movie going community.

It’s the ultimate good versus evil scenario played out in real life.

Extras include over 60 minutes of additional information about characters examinations,  featurettes about stunts and much more all courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
