Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Shot on location in Danville VA, this movie is better than most Sci-Fi mystery movies on the market. Bridd Cole leads a mundane life, getting up at 7am, going to work, delivering mail and being bashful when it come to temp employee Charlotte. Bridd's powers make an appearance when best bud Trent steps away from his desk during a Stock Trade. Bridd's "powers" allow him to perfectly select a trade that makes the company clients a great deal of money and gets Trent a nice size portfolio as a bonus. Trent is aware of Bridd's powers and wants him to use them to their benefit. Bridd declines as he's not the type to do that sort of thing. A brief encounter with Charlotte in the supply room gives Bridd another chance to showcase his powers. When a 20yo package is finally delivered, things get really interesting. The contents resemble a hand-held game system. Bridd ignores it and proceeds with his mundane life. He gets a date with Charlotte that leads to them going on the run, when they return to his house, find it trashed and unexpected visitors hiding in the shadows. Even worse, their boss is dead on the floor in Bridd's house. The visitors are dressed in Cat Burglar Attire with Motorcycle Helmets. Trent is the 2nd victim of the visitors. The Leader (David S. Lee) barely speaks, yet conveys so much in his actions. Bridd and Charlotte partake in a bit of a scavenger hunt to get details on what is happening and why. Bridd has to climb onto a library shelf to reach the next device in the hunt. yet, when he removes it from the book encasing it, Charlotte merely puts the book back on the top of the shelves. She's the same height as Bridd and therefore should have had to climb on the shelf as he did. It becomes clear The Leader is out to create hybrids on Earth. The question of why isn't revealed until the climax. Bridd learning how to use his powers to aid in their battle against The Leader is akin to watching Rain Man. Bridd can recall in detail things he's literally only seen for few seconds. Watch his eyes when he's attacked. They glow when he's "fully charged" and can hit back as hard as Superman. This first comes to light in the library when he has to take on one of The Leader's Cronies. The Cronies carry razor sharp double edged curved knives which can cut through skin and bone like a hot knife through butter. Apparently, Bridd and his kind are potent, because one night with him and Charlotte is preggers. The Leader needs Bridd's blood because as purebreds, they cannot breathe in Earth's atmosphere, hence the helmets. There are loose ends which permit a sequel. Considering one of the Cronies disappeared with a vial of Bridd's blood and there is a little one on the way, I'd like to see a sequel to this movie. I gave it a 7/10 because it wasn't campy, overly dramatic or too techy to follow. It had an even balance of sci-fi, mystery, romance and comedy. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes invasion movies.

Possible spoiler alert... I have to strongly disagree with some of these reviews. I think the hallmark of a good movie is one you would watch TWICE over time, and I kept awaiting the promised "unguesable twists and turns" right up to the end... none appeared. Several easily, even unavoidably anticipated clichés did however. How about a bad guy you leave for dead, but miraculously reanimates to take one more attempt to kill you... boy, never seen THAT one before. OR, a bad guy who shoots you, and rather than put two more in your head from a safe distance, walks up and rolls your supposedly dead body over... giving the hero the opportunity to turn the tables. Groundbreaking suspense! (yawn).

The movie is a nice try by Iqbal to bring some romance between humans and aliens if we say so. However, I felt that movie lacks many important factual information that would allow the viewers to have a grasp of where the story has begun from. Also, the movie does not qualify to the canonical movies but I can call it a "soap sci-fi" movie where we already know what would happen by just having a simple guess. In the same line, the plot is not that sophisticated and was not really polished at least to avoid some clichés. The actress fell behind in some scenes where she didn't seem natural and I bet that many have noticed that especially when they argued. Again it's a nice watch by Iqbal but compared to the gurus of sci-fi movies, it is only a decent try. The movie could be improved only adding more mini climax to it.

The story had such promise and did manage to hook me in reasonably quickly. Unfortunately, that was as good as it got. I do like sci-fi and once does have to suspend belief, but a good sci-fi film can easily make one believe in time travel, parallel dimensions etc. The first killer for me is when a **really** beautiful babe, who did not appear to be a stranger to using her sexual attraction, falls for the main character. It took me for over half the film to realise that she was not a plant by the Secret Services. So many aspects of the story could have been explored for easily another 30 mins of quality sci-fi, the film is too short at 83 mins as is. Better acting would have been mandatory. In fact, other than the promising story the only other good thing about this film is that it is indeed short so I did not waste too much of my life. Do yourselves a favour and do what the song says, "just walk on by" and give it a miss.
