Special (I) (2006): A lonely metermaid has a psychotic reaction to his medication and becomes convinced he's a superhero. A very select group of people in life are truly gifted. Special is a movie about everyone else. (6.9)
Directors: Hal Haberman, Jeremy Passmore
Writers: Hal Haberman, Jeremy Passmore
Stars: Michael Rapaport, Paul Blackthorne and Josh Peck
This movie questions where reality ends and dreamworld begins; or more precisely, where hallucination ends and reality begins. Then again, it is movie about a set of quite ordinary people. One of them steps into an alternate reality of his own making. Funny at times, and depressing at a couple of points. The story really could have tackled the issue of drug companies and people with health issues, but the writers chose not to. The ending is missing a bit. The movie could have been something more. Michael Rapaport is good in the lead role. My Rating: 6.0
