Horrible movie

Rating: 2/10 (6 March 2010)

This movie was a complete waste of time.
When I saw the trailer I thought the idea was kind of stupid, but the atmosphere seemed to be one that resembles Psychological Thrillers like The Machinist. Those are usually good, so I rented.
About 30 minutes into the movie I found it all going smoothly, until they managed, somehow, to transform something somewhat interesting into something completely stupid. They managed to make the movie a "real-life comic book" with both a super hero, who does not die unless drowned, and a not-so-super villain, whose only "powers" would be his intelligence, which are both incredibly stupid.
One of the stupidest part of this movie that I will never forget is when Elijah says something about them (Hero and Villain) being similar because they drink water too fast and they can drown in it (*sigh*).
Another incredibly stupid part is by the end when they show that Elijah was actually a not-so-super villain, in a desperate attempt to make a mediocre twist, making the movie even WORSE than I thought possible. Not to mention another stupid part when the Hero saves two kids from a murderer while in a rain suit using incredibly lame camera effects.
I voted this movie a 2 and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was a failed attempt to make a Psychological Thriller. This movie seems to be an adult-movie (please note that by ADULT-MOVIE I don't mean pornographic, but simply slow-paced and what many people like to call "boring") with a children-movie's story. The best way to describe this movie would be: a slow-paced, psychological-like version of Spy Kids.
