646f9e108c Melvin, a reluctant Superhero, lives only for crime, women and drugs - until he realises that the only way he will ever get to see his estranged son is to go straight and fulfil his potentiala crime fighter. The entire movie in brief…<br/><br/>Waste of space guy with telekinesis has heart attack<br/><br/>Decides to use his abilities to help people <br/><br/>Challenges drug dealer to a fight<br/><br/>Drug dealer shoots his friend in the arm<br/><br/>Guys friends are angry at him<br/><br/>Goes back to being a waste of space<br/><br/>Friends like him again<br/><br/>Guy beats up drug dealer <br/><br/>Guy gets to pick up his estranged son from school<br/><br/>THE END<br/><br/>This could have been a good moviethe cast do a credible job with what they have been given, unfortunately that wasn&#39;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.<br/><br/>I was looking forward to seeing this movie but spent my entire time waiting for it to go somewhere, it never did. Based on the description, I was expecting something similar to Hancock about a superhero with deep character flaws and an alcohol problem that gets his life together. While this movie can be describedsuch, it really isn&#39;t. The hero of this movie primarily used his powera parlor trick and only fights crime for like 3 minutes. The remainder of the hour and a half you are bored to tears waiting on the superhero to show up while being subjected to watching a waste of oxygen get drunk and high over and over. The powers seem more like an afterthought than it should be for a movie billeda superhero movie. In fact they could have completely left out any powers at all, deleted the 3 minutes of action and had essentially the same movie. <br/><br/>I will say that the actors and director did a good job with the script they had, and if this wasn&#39;t pusheda superhero movie, I might have rated it higher. Based on what I was looking for I found it slow and boring.<br/><br/>Bottom line: If you are looking for a superhero movie like Hancock this isn&#39;t it. If you are looking for a movie about overcoming addiction, then this might fit the bill. What’s missing is much in the way of substantial drama or character development.
