Finally a movie where people get superpowers and don't become superheros. They play pranks on people, show off at the high school talent show, and try to get laid. It's probably how most of us would react if we found ourselves with powers. More interesting to me was the dark subtext of a troubled young man who snaps after being picked on his whole life. Whether he got his hands on superpowers or semi-automatic weapons it seems like his life was going to inevitably reach the same apex no matter what. The film was shot entirely POV style like Cloverfield which made the outlandish special effects seem more genuine.

3.5 Stars (out of 5)
