74/100 A man with powers and a psychologist are on a road trip of discovery while being pursued by the authorities. For a film I picked based on the trailer, this was surprisingly good. Although it does have some excellent spec fx sequences, it's far more a deeply personal character study, with awesome acting, as our protagonists deal with something extremely dangerous and how it effects the public at large. What I really admired was the reveal could have been enormously silly but it was treated with just the right level of seriousness to totally buy it. Well done! - DrNostromo.com
