BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

orolin-16733 This seems like a story about a useless guy who has let his life go to ruin and is now going to get himself back on the right path... and then they threw in some scenes of levitating objects because... well why not? Clearly a hard luck story about a dad wanting to get his life together for his kid needs some random mention of super powers.I was determined to watch this movie but it took 3 separate tries...Something that made no sense was that his friends were somehow AMAZED every time he would use his powers... Forget the fact that they had been "Scientifically studying" him for so long. I mean wouldn't you get used to somebody you had known for years who could do something amazing? I know we get sick of celebrities and all kinds of one trick ponies in real life. I think they had a small budget which was wasted on the few special effects in this movie and no money was left over for an actual script. The most believable part of the whole story was Stephen Dorff at the parties. It was like they literally just told him to go and do drugs and drink and they would just film it. Sort of disturbing how good he is at playing his low life character... Hopefully he is just very good at acting and the real actor isn't that bad off in real life...Do not watch this movie if you are expecting a superhero. I watched the whole thing thinking it would come and then it all of a sudden ended and I realized I had wasted an hour and a half of my life. I have no idea why anybody is rating this movie with anything above 1 star. I would avoid watching this.

lonerider-25302 comedy ? this movie is about as funny as a fart in an elevator. sorry,its just stupid yank crap.... the story starts out pretty dumb,and it just gets worse. by the time it looks like getting interesting,its over. if they had made the story AS... "AN American HERO" story then they might have been onto something. but unfortunately,this is what you get from college students. lots of intellect but little brains. just damn awful. sorry for rambling,but the top two lines say it all, and i needed 10 lines for a review.i would not pay money to see this movie.if i new how bad it would be , i would not have downloaded it.maybe,in a sequel,they could carry on the story and the main character could learn to use his talents and defeat criminals,clean up the town,and crush cars of bad guys...that wouldn't be bad to see....

syked_31 The entire movie in brief...Waste of space guy with telekinesis has heart attackDecides to use his abilities to help people Challenges drug dealer to a fightDrug dealer shoots his friend in the armGuys friends are angry at himGoes back to being a waste of spaceFriends like him againGuy beats up drug dealer Guy gets to pick up his estranged son from schoolTHE ENDThis could have been a good movie as the cast do a credible job with what they have been given, unfortunately that wasn't much. A lot of drinking, drug using and partying fill in the gaps where they seem to have run out of ideas and some unimaginative scenes where the lead character uses his powers make up the rest of the movie.I was looking forward to seeing this movie but spent my entire time waiting for it to go somewhere, it never did.

Glitchface Dan First impressions were OK, it was visually very nice but the swearing was a bit too frequent, like it was trying too hard to be street.It wasn't a film that made me feel very passionate so I'm finding this hard. Due to how laid back the whole thing was, it's very easy to watch and forget.No real real gripes with it apart from the fact it doesn't seem to know whether it is a fictional documentary or a regular movie.In lots of scenes (mostly at the start) the cast talk to the camera man, but this isn't consistent throughout the film. I'm sure street thugs doing drugs and guns etc might not act as if the cameras weren't there, nor would the cameraman smoothly and calmly film a shootout without cover.Some of the CGI effects were a bit video game-like which which I can understand on a low budget, but they could have disguised them better with some creative filters.I gave it 6/10 which is a good score for me, it would have been 8/10 for a low budget movie had the above issues not have been there.
