Review of Fast Color (2019) by Truerock — 30 Jan 2022

I really don't like the super-powers genre. I was into it when I was a young, pre-teen - but, I grew out of it. I watched this film because Levi Lobo (Levi Dylan Martinez) has a few scenes in it. I very much enjoy watching Lobo. He is a very interesting personality. He probably needs to get out of Hollywood and do some summer stock on the east coast... or, something... maybe take some acting lessons.

Anyway, I went ahead and forced myself to watch the film in its entirety. David Strathairn as the local cop turned in his normal very good effort. I usually like watching him.

As for Gugu Mbatha-Raw (what a great name!) in the lead role... I think she didn't get the help from the director (who was working on a small budget) she needed. I saw flashes of some talent that - hopefully - will be taken advantage of some day.

I'm not going to blame the film for the story and plot. Lots of people love this kind of film - I'm just not one of them.
