I watched this a couple of nights ago during my off time with my friends Bruno and Richard.
To be fair, I wandered in and starting watching the movie when it was about 1/3 of the way done, maybe a little more. But the other 2/3 were a suckicity that was beyond suckiness. It was good laughing material for us though.
Apparently, the movie is about some ex-"special forces military" guy (you never hear about a cook or artilleryman doing stuff in movies), who turned himself invisible and doesn't know how to reverse the process. He was bright enough to make himself invisible, but not bright enough to think up a way to undo the process before making himself invisible.
And he basically does a good job of snuffing people throughout the film. 'Cause he's an ex-special forces guy that won't get killed by falling out of a multi-story window, but for some reason has a kryptonite-like weakness for getting stabbed with a shovel.
There was one interesting bit where he encountered a blind lady in an elevator, and conversed with her like everything was cool. She says "Your accent sounds like your from North Carolina." To which he replies..."Cherry Point."
Hm. Interesting. The only branch of military with special forces is the Army (every other branch has spec ops, not quite the same thing). And, interestingly enough, Cherry Point is home to Marines...AIRWING Marines...couldn't the story writers at least do their effing research before making a film out of it?
Anyway. Yeah. [/rant]
