Freaks: Um de Nós

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.

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.

The storyline actually has some promise but unfortunately it's the delivery of the movie as a whole which has let it down. Probably a budget thing or perhaps more to do with the writing and directing not really sure. Overall the movie was OK to watch but a very low budget movie that's for sure. It's one of those movies you wanna watch when there's nothing else on

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

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