Glass-Kids’ Movie Review

Superheroes are fictional character’s with different strengths and abilities when using their powers. Psychologist, Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson), believes that some people actually think they have superpowers, though she claims it’s a result of a dysfunctional childhood. So, Dr. Staple gets an opportunity to work with three special subjects; a murderer with a variety of distinct personalities, a man who was nearly drowned as a boy and now thinks he’s indestructible, and Mr. Glass…a man with a bone disease who is extremely intelligent, but the most dangerous of them all. Glass is the third part of an intense trilogy; Unbreakable, which came out in 2000, and 2016’s sequel, Split.
