Super (2010)
A dark quirky superhero flick without a superhero
I didn't like Super, but I can definitely see why some people would.
I probably didn't like Super because I was expecting work from James Gunn that was similar to his not quite porn web series. I was eager to watch sexiness turn into hilarity as things were turned on their ear. This lady was looking for some delightful awkward humour with Ellen Page, Rainn Wilson and Linda Cardellini, but it you're looking for a comedy, do not watch this movie. It's a lot more dark than it is funny.
This movie's a study of how far someone will go to have good in the world and whether those lengths for decency can make an individual less than decent. By choosing Rainn Wilson as the lead the movie's message becomes poignant and much more relatable. The mission is portrayed by one Rainn Wilson, not Hollywood's handsomest or fittest leading man. Playing Frank Garbo, Wilson portraysa simple man with armed with nothing but conviction and faith. Garbo is at times uncomfortable to watch, but compelling nonetheless.
