Welcome to the other side. I didn't know anything about this movie but the basic description I read, made it sound like a sci-fi movie I would like.
You can tell right away that the movie wasn't going to win any awards, and you could tell that it didn't have a ton of money invested in it, but it had a very cool concept. The kid has the ability to make people see what he wants them to. He basically creates illusions that others people see.
The kid and his father figure partner decide to use this awesome ability to steal booze from a liquor store, but the kid loses concentration or something and the illusion dissolves before they get to far, and they have to run.
If I had this gift, I wouldn't be stealing booze, I'd be heading to Vegas or heading to a bank to cash this certified cheque for 10 million, etc.
Anyways, the movie was good enough to keep me watching, but it could have been so much better. It's been a week or so since I watched it, and I don't remember much about it. The evil company sent a "perceiver" after the kid, who is basically a guy that has the same ability as the kid, but is way more experienced at using his gifts than the kid. He kind of acts like the Terminator.
So to sum this up, the movie was just okay. They had a great idea, but they didn't do much with it. I just don't understand what's up with writers these days, but they all seem just terrible. Even when they are asked to do a remake of a movie, so they have the original movie to draw ideas from, they still create a shyt script.
It's definitely worth watching once though.
