About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, small-scale superpower thriller with a revenge edge and a tech hook, closer to Taken than a glossy superhero romp; Not for you if you need tight plotting and big spectacle.
Pros: fresh superpower twist; gritty small-scale stakes; mostly strong performances | Cons: uneven pacing; underused side characters; predictable, messy plotting
