  • Summary: A comedic drama about a maverick comic-book writer (Palladino) who uses his powers of creativity to create a new kind of superhero -- an enigmatic entity named Justice who embodies the heroism of everyday existence in the face of apathy, anarchy, and cynicism. (Two Boots Pioneer Theater)
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 1 out of 4
  2. Negative: 0 out of 4
  1. Most of the supporting cast (including Daphne Rubin-Vega and Michael Jai White) underwhelms. Still, Palladino is a strong lead, and there's no denying the film's emotional core.
  2. 50
    Generally low-key and likable, thanks mainly to a talented cast.
  3. 50
    Writer-director Erik Palladino's admirably subtle bit of chronological trickery allows his small-scale drama, set in 9/11 New York, to deliver a sucker-punch of an ending.
