Speed of Thought









Check out the handsome actors both left and right! They do a great job as "seers" in a fine sci-fi caper.

What's the film about? NO spoiler, needless to say, but you have only 28 young folks in the U.S. who have been discovered to be not only telepathic, but capable of entering each others' minds!

Fun!

Here's the rub: What if you're a "normal," as the non-seers are called? What if, like you or me, you don't want one of those 28 freaks getting inside your mind? What if you found out that as the young people age, their weird mind-inside-mind talents grow?

Enter the government who decides it must control these strange souls!

OK, plot set. Nick Stahl and Mia Maestro, two mind-powered young people, heat up the screen when they fall in love. Drawn to each other, to "bond", they simply go inside each others' heads. Careful now....what is in their thoughts?

Nick Stahl is great. He earned his stripes in Terminator 3, where he led the free world against the machines, with the always-over-emotive Claire Danes at his side. Mia Maestro? She's dazzling...and seems to be in movies only because she is the best friend of Salma Hayek!

I enjoyed this light fare. It kept me watching. There are good folks and baddies. We root for the seers, of course...so go "SEE" this flick!

Grade B+

  1. Is it just me, or do these images look strikingly like the ones you posted for Static? Ew.
