7/10
Not as bad as the user reviews say it is!

I don't get the dislike for this movie to be honest, i thought it was pretty solid. The main plot or driving force behind the film is cliched i will say that. It's your typical "guy owes money to the big baddie and if he doesn't pay his loved ones get hurt" story. The difference here is that the main character uses a pretty nifty gadget integrated into his arm to somehow control metal around him using magnets or something (similar to Magneto kinda). Now personally i don't understand science or chemistry too much to verify if any of this is possible but hey it's entertainment after all so who really cares. This also gives this film a cool kinda twist, which essentially makes this an origin story for the lead to become a Hero similar to Iron Man or Batman. The acting was pretty good, and honestly i didn't find any cons with the movie besides it being too basic, ohh and the ending which was disappointing since they tease something cool happening and we don't get to see it. It's a 7.5 for me
