Melvin est super-héros malgré lui. La trentaine bien entamée, il habite encore chez sa mère et ne vit que pour la fête, les femmes et la drogue. Jusqu'au jour où il réalise que la seule façon pour lui de revoir son fils, que la justice lui interdit d'approcher, c'est d'accepter son destin, et d'exploiter ses super pouvoirs pour lutter contre le crime. (Chrysalis Films)

American Hero feels more like a rookie director's debut than a film by someone with a solid track record, like the guy who made The Football Factory. The trailer pretty much gives away all the interesting parts, leaving the rest of the film as dull filler with lots of drug use and pointless chatter. The special effects are subpar, and not even Stephen Dorff or the wisecracking guy in the wheelchair can save it.

Not a big disappointment, but a small one for sure. There was room here for a pretty wild action comedy, but they decided it would be a message-driven film, telling the story of just one superhero who couldn't cope with his abilities. Will Smith excelled in this, even though the film didn't fully succeed in terms of special effects. No, this just didn't entertain me much.
