I don't know what it is about Norway but every now and again they produce some really good movies...Let The Right One In, Troll Hunter, and even The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo are all examples of great underdog movies that went in to bigger success and even some American remakes.
That being said, I loved that this movie was in English! I prefer when my attention isn't taken away, trying to read what's on screen.
This movie is about a young homeless man in Norway who gets into an altercation with some punks kids and one of them dies after confronting the homeless man. Once arrested, it's discovered that he has the ability to control elements (air, water, fire, etc..) think of"Storm" from X-men, only cooler...
He develops a mutual attraction with the psychologist and after escaping custody, teams up with her to try and figure out what is happening to him.
The American guy is played by a Californian, so us southerners need to forgive his horrible Texas accent, but for the most part it's not too bad.
The scenery is amazingly beautiful, If Norway looks like that, I hope to visit someday.
The effects in the movie are pretty good, especially considering it's not a big budget movie.
If you're looking for a superhero movie, this isn't it, but if you like well written sci-fi, I think you'll find this movie a pretty good way to kill a few hours.
