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.

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.

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.

Needless to say not an original one. The concept of this movie has been used by the sci-fi sector in so many ways, it may even bore you when you first started the movie. Later things get interesting because you too wonder what is real and what is not alongside the main character. This movie caught my eye because of its beautiful poster and I can't say I regret watching it but I am slightly disappointed because even though I watched this without any expectations I guess a small part of me wanted this to be good. As I said, I loved the main idea and I would love to see it handled better but not as a 90mins movie but as a tv mini-series. The format would have been more suitable because there was no chance to see any character depth or to understand why someone is doing something other than just guessing. Action scenes could have handled better if this was a tv series alongside well... everything. I don't recommend it if you are hoping to watch a really good movie but if you wanna watch a movie that could trigger your imagination to think of a better scenario based on this one, then you can give it a try because you can't help but to think the ways it could have been better.

Hamster is a black teenage aspiring to be an investigative reporter like Hunter Thompson. He finds his subject in homeless man Max Fist (Joe Manganiello) who claims to be a hero with superpowers. He comes from another world and the problem is that his powers only exist in his home world. Hamster's sister gets into trouble with drug dealers after stealing their money.

I really like the premise but I would slow-roll the comic book animation. The first half of the movie shouldn't have the animation. The audience should be conflicted about Max Fist's story and his home world. He should be equally crazy and equally heroic. I like the fight against the car and there should be more of that. This is smaller indie and the movie struggles to be a big action superhero movie that it wants to be especially in the third act. All in all, I like the characters, the actors, and the premise.
