SYNOPSIS

The film is a sequel to Shyamalan's previous films Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016)

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.

REVIEW SUMMARY

While not a perfect film by any means, Glass is always interesting, despite having more than a few cracks. The story we’re presented is a genuine mixed bag giving us a strong opening, a meandering middle, and a “twisty” little third act that mixes excitement with disappointment. We do get some enticing cornels of a bigger story here (yes, the world building continues folks). Willis and Jackson are nicely on par with their previous performances in their respective roles, while McAvoy once again proves to be a cinematic marvel. How does he make it look so damn easy? So yes, Glass tries to do too much with a whole heck of a lot of story to tell, but it's still worth seeing how this Shyamalan trilogy plays out.
