I've been revisiting some of M. Night Shyamalan's films lately, and while everyone talks about "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable," I've noticed some performances that don't seem to get enough love. Are there any underrated performances in his movies that you think deserve more recognition? Whether it's from his earlier works or even his recent stuff, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

The performance by James McAvoy in "Split" is one that truly deserves more praise. The way he embodies multiple personalities, each with its own distinct mannerisms and speech patterns, is nothing short of mesmerizing. It's not just the quantity of his roles in the film but the depth he brings to each character that stands out, especially with the tension that builds in the scenes where his characters interact. The fight choreography in the final confrontation showcases not just physical prowess but also the psychological layers at play, making it a thrilling watch. It's amazing how much nuance he brings to a role that could easily have been over-the-top.
