Director: David S. Goyer
Running Length: 1:37
MPAA Classification: PG-13

Nick Powell (Chatwin) is a mopey rich kid. He is moderately popular, and probably less cool than he thinks he is. Still, he leads a pretty good life, even if he feels that he is not taken seriously. One day, he gets on the bad side of Annie Newton (Levieva), a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who is nothing but trouble. Nick gets beaten badly by her thugs, and finds himself invisible to the world, on the brink of death. He has to somehow find a way to have his body found so that he can be saved.

Forget anything you have seen in trailers for this film. They are outright misleading. He is not dead, and more importantly, there is no mystery. Instead, an idea that could have been handled better is badly handled. The film ends up as a depressing mess. The leads are unremarkable, which is a problem with the story in the direction it takes. I was very disappointed with this film, but give it two start because it did manage to do some things right. I think in a better director’s hands, this could have worked a lot better.
