Few movies shot in this twisted style. Comic book inserts that are perfectly woven into the storyline lend a good narrative to this yet grim story.

Im not sure if people were trying to compare this to block buster films with 150 million dollar budgets. Apples and bananas, come on. I know these are just other peoples opinions and I am doing the same but give the people who put the work in credit. Sometimes stories require imagination to fill in the blanks.

I thought this was well done. The mesh between the worlds was well executed and the visuals were crisp. Im not sure what the lack of character development comments were either. The entire movie is the main character narrating his past through the eyes of a young writer.

The acting was spot on for the story and the length.

If this was the directors debut film I tip my hat to him and his team. You can tell that is was well executed . I am excited to see the future films that are produced. Its nice to see something out there that is not made to fit everyones marketing ploy to reach "every demographic".

Great job to all involved!

The only novel thing where time was spent on during the brainstorming process is the premise. Everything around it seems to be rushed to get a movie in time. Sadly, it's not an enjoyable watch - I finished it since I started it.

I like Joe Manganiello. No matter how many bad roles he does, I still have something in my heart for him, some hope that he will do better and shine. Unfortunately it's not this film. The plot is not that original, but OK: a guy pretending to be a superhero from another dimension, while we have to struggle to believe him in lack of any real evidence, the hapless kids that get into something bad and need help, the comic book vibe, the resolution at the end. And it kind of starts promising, too. Yet from the middle on it just gets depressing and slow and badly acted.

Bottom line: I would have liked to like this film, but it just wasn't the case. It felt like an episode of Powers with an even lower budget and worse acting.

The title says it all. It's way better than 5 stars. The difference between 5 and 7 is don't watch or watch. That's a huge difference. It's really well directed and decently written.
