Review:
This is a zero-budget sci-fi thriller about a put-upon kid who comes into possession of a powerful glove that gives him the power of telekinesis. By utilising this he is able to go through his life and take revenge on everybody who's been oppressing him in his mundane existence.
This is an el cheapo production, shot in Las Vegas and with a no-name cast and crew. The plot bears a few superficial similarities to previous 'glove' themed films (like THE GLOVE) and stories I've read, but the terrible execution means that it's a near-unwatchable piece of entertainment. Yep, you guessed it: non-existent characterisation, bad acting, poor production values.
This boring production is filled with small talk and not much else. There's very little in the way of action staging or indeed incident so the budget for this independent film must have been very low indeed. The resultant film is one which no movie-goer in his right mind could enjoy.
