Maybe it's a cliché to cast Jeff Goldblum as a nerd in "Powder", but the movie is actually worth seeing. Portraying an albino teenager (Sean Patrick Flanery) upsetting his Texas town via his mental abilities, the movie really gives you a feeling of the Lone Star State. I will admit that a story of people ostracizing a different kind of person has been used many times before, but the whole thing about the title character's mental abilities made this one unique.
All in all, this is a movie that I recommend. I noticed that the cop looked like Pat Buchanan - and acted like him too. The aforementioned cast members, plus Mary Steenburgen and Lance Henriksen, all do quite well in their roles. I sure didn't see that ending coming.
