Review of I Am Number Four (2011) by Alice S — 14 Apr 2013
No matter how spring-like it may feel outside, "I Am Number Four" is here to remind you it's still technically winter, and where there's winter there must be at least one movie produced by the indomitable Michael Bay.
Enlisting "Eagle Eye" and "Disturbia" hack D.J. Caruso to direct a silly, simplistic science-fiction-for-teenagers premise, "Number Four" really shows its political strings more so than Bay's own "Transformers" movies.
Whatever interesting elements abound in "I Am Number Four" are drowned in wince-worthy dialouge and high school corniness straight out of a CW drama. And Alex Pettyfer as Number Four acts as if he's just dropped out of doing a Hollister commercial to make a movie that keeps true to its title in being an entirely new brand of shit.
