Freaks: You're One of Us

Quite enjoyed it but could have been better. Solid performances form most of the cast. Sort of a lower budget German version of Heroes or similar shows.

Was expecting some superhero fights in the end...but felt like the movie ended abruptly without a proper climax

This movie is not really good nor really bad. It marinades in its own mediocrity. The story is just a run of the mill superhero tale and the pace is quite off with a lot of filler and could have been for a 1h pilot to a much stronger show. The acting is also very stilted and soapy. The character introductions are so rudimentary you can't even relate to any of them. You can also feel the low budget, since a lot of the effects that could have looked great are happening off screen. And the majority of effects on screen look very poor. The icing on top is the as it seems to be permanently drunken camera operator. Even in the calmest scenes he is shaking like Jell-O on a roller coaster, quite a pain to watch since there wasn't a real reason to go full on steady cam besides the rare action sequences.

Not great art but a solidly good 90 minutes. Well acted. Made me smile. Made me sad. Created a sense of jeopardy. Well made plot. Perhaps formula is not all bad when done well

A nowadays action series contains more action and effects per episode, then most movies from the last decades. This 'movie' is entertaining en very, very, short. Seems to me it was a pilot for a new series because it contains just enough material for that and it has a huge open ending where a good and a bad super is born. The story is pretty funny, the effects, the few that are in this movie, are well done.
