‘102 Dalmatians’ - film review

By Loey Lockerby The Walt Disney studio has made some of the finest animated films ever produced. Its live-action efforts are seldom in the same league (or even anywhere near it), but even those have devoted fans. In 1996, the company took a big risk by combining the two mediums, remaking the 1961 animated hit “101 Dalmatians” with real actors and real canines. Luckily for them, it was a success, thanks mostly to Glenn Close’s gloriously hammy performance as Cruella De Vil. And, of course, a sea of adorable puppies.

Night Shyamalan (“The Sixth Sense”) makes a real stab at total genre revisionism. Unfortunately, “Unbreakable” lies in that nether space between atmospheric and boring.
