completely bland, predictable, cliché, unfunny


I thought this could be decent, a science fiction movie about a guy who can do absolutely anything. And it turned into the most bland load of crap about a guy getting a woman to have sex with him.

The writing is absolutely awful, he gets powers and the writers clearly think "crap, how do we make him realise he has powers? ...a.I know let have some character come up to him and directly ask him what he would do if he had the power to do absolutely anything" ....f* ck me that's some lazy writing.

Things are setup but never paid off. He says "may all bullets bounce off me" and he doesn't Gert shot, so later that should pay off where he gets shot but doesn't remember that he said that and there's a tense moment, that's like bog standard paint by numbers screenplay writing. Nope, he's held at gunpoint later and he just turns the guy into a dog.

Worst of all. They throw in a scene where he loses his powers just as he makes a wish for the woman he likes to fall in love with him, but at that exact same moment she half drunk decides to sleep with him anyway. So he thinks he did it with his powers and then so willingly rapes her as far as he knows, but worse than that when she knocks on his door all she says is "you're not gay are you?" "No" and then she just kisses hi. So both are main characters are okay with sexually assaulting people. Just wow.

Whoever got paid to write this crap should have to give the money back, and whoever paid them after reading what they wrote should be sent to an assylum.

Strong premise, lead, talent, budget... but I agree it ended up such a pile of crap. SO disappointing!
