I agree it's crazy, and very annoying once you wake up and realize how many cuts there are.

The absolute worst edited movie, where the director will never allows you more than a second between cuts is "End of Days". Behold the editor's *skill* that is able to use 5 cameras, and 16-20 cuts to show Arnold pouring a cup of coffee. I couldn't finish watching the movie it was driving me so nuts.

"Unbreakable" is on the complete opposite end of the scale. The wonderful camerawork makes for pleasant viewing. Every director/editor should learn a few things from Shamalan(sp?).
