There have been numerous superhero films made lately. Not only do we have big budget ones but we also have low budget ones. I don't think you can get more lower than this Aussie entry.
The story of an average person putting on a costume and becoming a vigilante is nothing new. However lately there have been many versions of the story that feature people as superheroes. This film is a decidedly different take. I'm kind of a little afraid to talk too much about the film for fear of reveling some of its wonderful twists and surprises. One of the films many strengths is its story. It is really sweet and very surprising. A unique love story about the coming together of two like minded souls who share a love of the different. I love a good love story and this is certainly that. While they are two reclusive and sort of nerdy characters they are still very delightful. They have are so many wonderful moments in the film that make you cheer for these characters and like them even more.
Ryan Kwanten is one of the best young actors working today. He is so brilliant in this film. He plays a very nerdy type character that is decidedly different to what we have seen him play before. His body language in each scene is so wonderful that it is like he is so into playing this character. His romantic interest played by Maeve Dermody is equally wonderful. You wonder why Ryan's character does not fall for her so easily.
Leon Ford is an emerging talent in Australia that is certainly one to watch. I encourage you to seek this film out while you can. I don't expect it to be around very long as most Aussie films are want to do, so make sure you hurry.
