I really enjoyed watching this movie. That said, I went in with very little expectations and I did not expect it to be Man of Steel or even Hancock. If all you want to see is a Hollywood superhero action movie, then this is not the movie for you.This movie is about a guy with superpowers, not a superhero. It's depiction is much more down to earth, mundane, and realistic compared to the glamorous and romantic depiction of people with super powers in other movies like The Marvel and DC films.It's about a pretty average, albeit really irresponsible guy who deals with his own personal issues.. he also just so happens to have telekinesis. I say give it a chance unless you want an action packed "superhero" movie.

The entire movie in brief...Waste of space guy with telekinesis has heart attackDecides to use his abilities to help people Challenges drug dealer to a fightDrug dealer shoots his friend in the armGuys friends are angry at himGoes back to being a waste of spaceFriends like him againGuy beats up drug dealer Guy gets to pick up his estranged son from schoolTHE ENDThis could have been a good movie as the cast do a credible job with what they have been given, unfortunately that wasn't much. A lot of drinking, drug using and partying fill in the gaps where they seem to have run out of ideas and some unimaginative scenes where the lead character uses his powers make up the rest of the movie.I was looking forward to seeing this movie but spent my entire time waiting for it to go somewhere, it never did.

One of the most interesting indi films and quite difficult to explain but will give it a try. Melvin (stephen dorff) is a beer loving drug taking party goer but with the advantage of having super powers after a court case bans him from seeing his son melvin and his best friend lucille (eddie griffin) attempt to change their ways so melvin can get his son back. The comedy is dark and random but the way this film is shot is brilliant as its in the style of a documentary. Stephen dorff has kept himself busy over the years and not done anything outstanding since Blade 1998, American hero will put him back in Hollywood's window as it shows just how good of a actor he is.
