Summary: A lonely metermaid has a psychotic reaction to his medication and becomes convinced he's a superhero. A very select group of people in life are truly gifted. Special is a movie about everyone else.

Review: An interesting little action drama indie flick. The idea of a man who claims to have superpowers is intriguing. I love the slow progression into madness, or is it? The way we experience the movie, I can never really tell and that's just awesome. It's even shot like a dream making it much more interesting to the audience. I enjoyed this random little movie.

Best Bits:

Jonas Exiler: That was exciting. You have a genuine flair for making a scene, don't you, Les?
Les: [has just run full-speed into a wall] I'm, uh, I'm not like most people. Cop #1: Yeah, I can see that.
Les: Your force field is good; my teleporting is better.
