** This review contains spoilers **
Why do people even make movies like this?
- Good idea, ruined by bad writing.
- Good acting, wasted on a terrible progression.
- My patience, ran out very quickly.
There are so many wrong things about this movie, it becomes a test of patience rather than something enjoyable to watch.
Examples:
- When the mysterious drug overlord shows up out of nowhere, believing in a story about a kid with mind superpowers.
- Why on earth were the experienced and feared drug traffickers USING THEIR REAL NAMES HERE AND THERE?
- The kid searches the web (he doesn’t even need a nearby WiFi router for that. He just... does it.) for fighting techniques for 5 seconds and suddenly is able to walk around silently in a puddle area and knockout an experienced thug with one punch.
- It happens in high school. For some reason, everything that happened to the entire universe had something to do with high school in these movies.
- At the end, the drug overlord of course is fighting the scrawny kid in the rain, at night, with what looked like a metal rebar and is still not able to knock him out. But of course, the superpower... the kid creates some sort of power surge for some reason and literally explodes energy around him like a bomb, sending the bad guy flying. This was the worst scene IMO. Even reading my own choice of words here makes it look better than in the movie.
Conclusion: what a crappy movie.
