My god....where do I start.
Unlike what a few reviewers have said, this movie is not brilliant, it was not an amazing story, and the acting is certainly NOT good.
The acting in this movie, especially from the lead actor, Chase Williamson, was abysmally deplorable. I think that a cat in a large paper bag could have done a better job portraying Ian Sparks. To me, it seemed that he was just cold reading from the script while delivering his lines during filming. Very few of the other actors/actresses were much better. Clancy Brown's performance was, in my opinion, the only real redeeming acting job among the entire cast. Although at the end, even his acting fell short.
Beyond the deplorable acting was the film itself. The concept of the movie was what drew me to watch it. The idea of the noir super-hero movie was intriguing, and I truly looked forward to seeing it. Wow, was I in for a surprise.
I sat through the film, hoping it would get better, but it just got worse and worse with every scene. It seemed that the writer couldn't decide if the lead character, Ian Sparks, was supposed to be a poor Batman, or a moral Comedian (Watchmen). It also seemed that the concept of the superhero story was being shoehorned into the noir detective story.
All in all, this movie was an incredibly bad, low budget, poorly acted steaming pile of horrible. Don't waste your time.
DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE.
You have been warned.
