The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This film could have been so much more and showed some promise but ultimately didn't deliver when it counted.I liked the dirty gritty feel the film tried to deliver but it wasn't consistent flicking between dark and gritty to neon and colourful.The thing that let the film down for me, other than the cheesy 90's flashbacks, was the appalling acting. It was the acting and choise of cast that really told me that this was a budget/student film. Nobody was believable or convincing in the roles they played. I'd have to question why this was committed to DVD format rather than just being left online for people to watch for a bet or dare. I only awarded this film 3/10 because it was marginally better than the other film I watched earlier which only got 2 stars.

Absolutely loved this film for most everything in it. The story was great from beginning to end, loved the fact things kept going back and forth and couldn't figure out where it was going to go next. A mix of SAW, KICK ASS, and more this film definitely is going to be a cult classic. The way the plot kept thickening and flowing from scene to scene keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat as an audience member. The costuming, film style, and dark gritty environments make this a must see for comic book fans, superhero fans, and action loving fans. The acting was well done as well as the Directing for catching just the right emotions through costumes on actors, and just the right amount movement from each character in their surroundings. The film lets you get to know each one, what they will be useful for, and if their super powers can help or will be there in the end.Thank You Jason Trost for your awesome films and stories! Keep making films, and cannot wait to one day team up with you to make a feature.

Before judging this film too harshly, remember it was made on a tiny budget and in a handful of days. It's basically a glorified student film, and if I were marking it, I'd give it an A. It's an interesting concept and the acting, while mediocre, shows promise, especially that of Jason Trost and Sophie Merkley. There's an awesome scene where the bitchy journalist guy from "Never Been Kissed" is dressed up as Uncle Sam and is armed with a flamethrower. It's worth a watch if only for that scene. James Remar is pretty good I guess, although it's hard to tell when he's basically a cackling, moustache-twirling level of villain. But in any case, this movie is a solid effort from writer/director Jason Trost. I'm looking forward to seeing what he offers to the genre world in coming years.

***Contains small spoiler, but you'll only get it if you watch the first half, then you'll know who I'm referring to and blah blah blah***I'm very sorry to say this, it had nice action sequences, some places the script was fa-boo but that was more you played hard with the high-stakes card, it was AWESOME seeing Sean Whalen in it, BUT the characters back story/flashbacks did not mesh together. One person states that they trained so hard so that they could join the group, later in the film, during a back story/flashback, it shows this same person basically creating the group. INCONSISTENT! I LOVED the FP though, confused for a moment, then I'm giving the screen "rock on" hands! I also love dance dance revolution games AND wear an eye patch...not all the time, just whenever costumes are involved.
