I am Number Four (2011)

Director: D.J. Caruso

Starring: Alex Pettyfer, Timothy Olyphant, Dianna Agron

Aliens and their Guardians are hiding on Earth from intergalactic bounty hunters. They can only be killed in numerical order, and Number Four is next on the list. This is his story.

Although the film is laden with unbelievable conveniences, this is still a fun, action-packed thrill ride filled with adventure and the right amount of chills, drama and humor.

I enjoyed Alex Pettyfer in the lead, and Timothy Olyphant was good as his guardian. I liked the characters, although I found the love interest a bit cliched. The adorable dog added the cute factor. Overall, the film is well-paced, with an incredible final act. The film features dynamic visuals, especially during the climax, with stunning action  – as if the entire film prepared you for that final moment. There’s so much happening during this final act, it’ll leave you breathless! Talk about saving the best for last.

Despite the film earning $150 million on a $50 million dollar budget, the critics gave it negative reviews and a sequel was shelved. Seriously…?

Would I watch it again? Yes.
