"Poder Sem Limites" é mais uma daquelas tragédias pós-Oscar

Andrew (o novato Dane Dehaan) não convence como jovem problemático.

There are a superhero theme and set to "Unlimited Power": this is (the) player (s) who discovers an endless source of magic itself, and his personality starts to act in such a configuration. Unlike films like "Watchmen" or "Superman", but "Unlimited Power" does not adhere to a metaphor of the human condition, in which the title character carries a cultural representation of the image of man. Carries much less rebellious and autossignificativa the strength of a "Kick-Ass." "Unlimited Power" is just a movie nonsense about the countless possibilities of power in the hands of irresponsible youth. All "documentary." Tragic start to finish.

The idea of ​​rookie Josh Trank toward complications was playing with that power comes in the life of its exhibits. To this, found it necessary to give the story emotional fickleness of youth, an extraterrestrial force and a document camera. The synopsis is simple: three young people embody supernatural power of God and play in the streets, until one of them loses control and, well, hence the "No Limits" title. The so called Trank the idea of creating a design document, a personal record of the characters, which works very poorly. In the absence of a camera crane that records the general scope, the film goes on CCTV, a female and a supporting character in the problem. Idea that caught by surprise in a routine tired, but that goes tortuously informal.

Amigos, que não eram amigos (?!), descobrem "caverna dos poderes".

And besides improbable in the extreme, "Unlimited Power" walk through an unprecedented series of clichés: sick mother + = alcoholic father troubled son; rich young folk + = president of the school, young college girls + = change in personality; troubled youth + = school bullying. To validate the power of three "heroes", Josh Trank still plays on stage Schopenhauer and Jung to justify the script so bumpy and philosophical pre-disposition of the three protagonists in playing X-Men. All this without giving the public what would be the source of transformation of the gene.

"Unlimited Power" is a film that is constructed so wasteful and impoverishing others in the final third, when all the frustration of Andrew, the problem takes extreme contours. What was just a joke (cars move with the thought, divert or flying objects) is treated with brake-paced action without the devastation of the city. At that time Andrew has learned to cope with their bounty and acts as master of time and space, destroying everything and everyone. Did you see the news?

"Uma câmera na mão e uma ideia na cabeça". Faltou a segunda.

The movie can not hold no concern for the documentary image, nor the drama of poor young man overwhelmed by the condition of society (but it certainly has psychological problems) and much less by the load of the burden of the hero. It is designed to be an experimental project backyard with the elegance of Hollywood (some visual effects are really good), but the whole film is lost because it is concerned more with image than with the text. The performances, dialogues and assembly are pathetic, even taking into consideration that the idea was to assemble a cast that "amateur".

Not needed, however, to judge the public an amateur crazy for power. "Unlimited Power" makes up success (already raised $ 100 million worldwide), but the final impression is that the free trial class content of the film did not work. To the apex of the tape, when the credits go up.
