Film Filter:Off - Chronicle

Chronicle (2012) PG-13



Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jordan
Film Filter: On- A troubled high school senior dealing with family problems finds himself with two friends at an underground phenomenon that ends up granting them all with super-human powers.  As the group experiments with their skills in private, growing stronger with each day, they realize they must set rules and boundaries for themselves before their powers get out of hand.  Already under pressure for being a social outcast at school and having problems at home, Andrew starts to see this as an opportunity for power and revenge.  The three extraordinary teens must figure out how to calm Andrew's need for retribution before he starts to take his frustrations out on his enemies, and beyond.


Things to note: Slow paced, dual genre, unbalanced focus of characters, contradictory style, interesting perspective into main character's social and family life
