With just 14% on Rotten Tomatoes and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who need a good giggle and people who love a story set somewhere strange. Leaves you with ideas to chew on afterwards. Same wavelength as Men in Black or The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2. Critics were cooler on it, but audiences had a great time.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 1 hr 44 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
While delivering a parking ticket to a small village in the Florida everglades, Officer Dave Speed finds himself in the middle of a radiation experiment conducted by the American government and NASA, where a detonated nuclear missile gives him a multitude of superpowers.
