Overview
M. Night Shyamalan brings together the narratives of two of his standout originals-2000's Unbreakable, from Touchstone, and 2016's Split, from Universal-in one explosive, all-new comic-book thriller: Glass.
From Unbreakable, Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass. Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast.
Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Dunn pursuing Crumb's superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"In GLASS, the writer-director aims to complete an opus much more ambitious than his breakthrough ghost story THE SIXTH SENSE....Satisfying enough to work at the multiplex..." - 01/09/2019 Hollywood Reporter
"It’s good to see Shyamalan back (to a degree) in form, to the extent that he’s recovered his basic mojo as a yarn spinner." - 01/09/2019 Variety
3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] thriller that’s undeniably bold....[With] a relatively action-packed opening that climaxes with Dunn squaring off against the supernatural maniac..." - 01/09/2019 Empire
3 stars out of 5 -- "McAvoy once again gives a virtuoso performance, flitting in and out of personalities with ease. Samuel L. Jackson is also charismatic fun..." - 01/09/2019 Total Film
"[K]notty and philosophical." - 01/10/2019 The Atlantic
"Once again, Shyamalan is playing with comic book tropes, adding his twists to monologuing heroes and villains who are remarkably self-aware of their own genre arcs." - 01/17/2019 RogerEbert.com
3 stars out of 5 -- "[Shyamalan] has an incredible eye for composing shots; the director and his cinematographer Mike Gioulakis know how to use that frame for doling out or withholding information, heightening moods, establishing bonds..." - 01/17/2019 Rolling Stone
"[GLASS] at least shatters any notion of how a superhero movie has to operate. With more of these coming every year, that’s an achievement worthy, at least, of a celebratory Sam Jackson monologue." - 01/17/2019 A.V. Club
