"Split was a surprise hit for director M. Night Shyamalan, but its most satisfying gambit came in unexpectedly setting up a sequel to his 2000 thriller Unbreakable. The result, Glass, isn't a breakthrough, but proves just clever enough to come out on the right side of a split decision. … After a promising start, the writer-director labors toward the end in conjuring his trademark twists, before offering what feels like a reasonable resolution to this whole experiment. Ultimately, Glass maintains a solid sense of tension, while like Unbreakable wrestling with the mythology that surrounds comic books and superheroes — a theme that seems more timely now, with such fare dominating the box office, then it did when the century began."
