Synopsis:
A couple of dudes take a trip to Europe. One gets infected with a disease that begins manifesting itself via some interesting symptoms.
Review:
It's hard to get into this without spoiling the midway plot twist. One dude acquires superpowers after catching an illness. The rest of the movie is him dealing with the negative side effects that come along with his particular brands of mega speed, strength, and stamina. All the scenes are shot from the perspective of an in-story camera. That means some sequences ain't for you if you've got motion sickness. There's a huge, huge logic hole when it comes to the resolution and justification of a lot of philosophical bullshit at the end. In fact, there are a fuckload of plot points in general that don't make sense.
Verdict:
Not a bad idea, but the script needed cleaning and reworking.
