    Started out well but went nowhere. Half decent special effects , acting not bad, story could have been a winner but the actual idea that having a piece of a broken smartphone in your head (we are never told if its an iphone and it didn't look like one) and turning you into a superpower hero is just laughable it actually sounds like something a schoolboy had written for his first year in English class fiction studies!

    What is it with British films these days they used to be so wonderful. Almost all of them now are set in some gang infested London backwater replete with oodles of violence , foul language , overt sex and no story that's what seems to be the recipe for another walk down depressville lane and suicide alley.

    I want to watch a film now and again and come out enervated and full of hope for the future or at least a smidgen of joy but these days after watching dross like this you come out feeling hopeless, depressed and suicidal.

    Is this really life in Britain today; well yes it probably is but that is why the cinema should be a place to go to be taken out of yourself and not reminded of the grim reality of the truth of life!

    Joyless , soulless, plot weak drivel.
