JB Smoov is nailing it as Frank. He’s like Richard Pryor reincarnated as a potted plant. He’s stealing entire episodes with (literally) two seconds of dialog. Whatever they’re paying him isn’t enough.

Not a very good movie. BIG SPOILER -- the filmmakers want a sequel. Nothing was resolved. The Big Bad remained untouched. The Promised Land was never reached and characters never felt true to themselves. There were fits of anger and love that seemed to come from left field. The whole movie felt like a none-too-tight preamble.

Want to like it, but every scene with Ellen Page grinds to a halt. She's like Smalls; she's killing me -- with her acting. Her hangdog demeanor gives the other actors, particularly Robert Sheehan's turn as Klaus, nothing to work against. And, that is to the series' shame. Sheehan is kind of reprising the DGAF character, Nathan, that stole the show in "Misfits." Like Misfits, this derivative superhero opera could be a breakout hit. But, it seems like nearly every scene is run through Page. Unfortunately, the producers felt they needed a "name" actor and doubly unfortunately Page was available.
