A film about wannabee's, never-were's and less-than-heroes making it against all odds. Where have we heard that before. But when the unfortunates are the Shoveller, the Blue Raja and Mr.Furious you know this is not your conventional rags to riches story.
A classic performance by Eddie Izzard as Tony P. one of the Disco boys leaders and Geoffrey Rush as Arch Villain shows actual thought went into the casting.
Even Greg Kinnear, at first glance an odd choice for the role of Captain Amazing turns out spot on.
Watch this film if you're sick of comic-gone-film stereotypes. Why couldn't anger be a super power?
