This movie is one of the worst of all time, there is no story, so a guy can't be killed and................. The ending is very terrible. In some movies you could get away with not having a story, but this movie just doesn't work.

I thought we were talking about Unbreakable and not all of J-Lo's flicks ...

"Said in the bonus disk that the movie Unbreakable was made from what started as only the first third of the original script. He said he felt no connection to the last two thirds of the text and decided to discard them."

Info comes from his bio page on imdb.com

No that's wrong. He says that superhero movies have three segments.
-Realisation of power
-Fighting Crime (extensively)
-Fighting Ultimate Nemesis

He said that this didn't click with him so he just decided to base the movie on the first act. I think he did try to write the other acts early on but didn't get very far because he couldn't connect with it.
