Yeh this looks pretty fun. Love the idea of him being a street magician at first.

I see Gus(Dule Hill) so i'm in.

Definitely see the Chronicle influence, but a mix of The Prestige.

A movie that doesnt heavily rely on SFX and a little more on plot & characters....

Coming out this Friday and I am definitely seeing it. We need more dudes from the hood turned superhero. If that is what he is.

Really like the premise of this & am hopeful it can break out and some notable numbers. It looks like a welcome departure from the usual superhero formula.

How was it?

It was a very well done flick. It has kind of the feel of Dope without the humor basically. The main character isn't so much a hero as he's a drug dealer flat out, but does what he does to keep his little sister safe.

Spoiler

His abilities come from an electromagnetic device strapped to his arm that he can use to levitate and move objects that his science professor helped him create, and he helps him amp it up later to give him even more power. He's basically Static Shock with the intelligence of Spider-Man if he slung dope.

That's good to hear, I read some not so flattering reviews last night but it's good to see you enjoyed it.

I'm also happy to see the weekend gross for this is currently estimated at $1,690,085 against a $250,000 budget.

I'm a huge Psych fan, so I'm glad to see that Dule Hill is in this, playing the lead villain.

I thought it was a decent movie. I was

kind of disappointed that he didn't have actual powers.
