Before judging this film too harshly, remember it was made on a tiny budget and in a handful of days. It's basically a glorified student film, and if I were marking it, I'd give it an A. It's an interesting concept and the acting, while mediocre, shows promise, especially that of Jason Trost and Sophie Merkley. There's an awesome scene where the bitchy journalist guy from "Never Been Kissed" is dressed up as Uncle Sam and is armed with a flamethrower. It's worth a watch if only for that scene. James Remar is pretty good I guess, although it's hard to tell when he's basically a cackling, moustache-twirling level of villain. But in any case, this movie is a solid effort from writer/director Jason Trost. I'm looking forward to seeing what he offers to the genre world in coming years.

I like campy low budget movies so I thought I'd give this a try. However at one scene a lady has a weapon but charges an enemy and throws said weapon aside while doing so. WTF? Any idiot knows to use the weapon and if you're a superhero, and most probably a veteran of some encounters, you would know to take advantage of it. I had to stop it because I hate when any movie makes characters stupid in order to force the story along.Also, how come someone has super strength one second then doesn't the next? Oh yeah, to force the story along.The only good thing about this movie is Harry from Dexter as the bad guy.

I just finished the movie, and I must say that I enjoyed it. It's not the greatest movie in the world, by any means, but it kept my interest.I enjoyed the slow reveal, but I do wish there had been a clearer explanation of their various powers... for example, I never understood what The Wall's abilities were.If you enjoy character-driven comics, and don't expect "The Avengers" on a $20,000 budget, then you might like it as well. I thought the costumes were well done, and the interaction between the characters was handled very well.I also think that Lucas Till, as Cutthroat, and Sophie Merkley, as Shadow, could play roles as superheroes in any other movie. They definitely looked the part.
