Ultimately it adds little to our understanding of the curious return of the superhero as our paradigmatic pop archetype.

It may not be perfect, but this under-the-radar indie from Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore is smart enough to leave you glad you found it.

Rappaport does a yeoman's job in this tonally confused oddity.

The premise is intriguing, and the film is occasionally amusing, but it feels stuck between a completely satirical farce and an aching drama.

I just thought it was a cool indie film with a great leading performance from an actor we don't usually get to see in a lead.
