★★★ · Interesting premise · Dr Feel Rotten · 2010-11-03
It's interesting and well acted, but the plot seems to just ignore basic physics and delves into imagination over reality when they make the absurd claim that an xray machine will detonate a contained of uranium like an atom bomb or for that matter make someone invisible. If they had left out the nuclear material part and just made him a mad scientist of some sort then MAYBE, but we now have far to many people who work in radiology to try to pull the wool over that many peoples eyes these days. All in all a well crafted movie, plot and good acting, but the ending leaves a bit to be desired.

Make up by master Jack Pierce from Universal Studios Monster movies. Story not bad,remember folks,movies like these were made for cheap entertainment,not to be based on scientific fact.
