SIX

SIX-I'll start by saying that I am a huge Fan of the Comic Book POWERS, by Michael Avon Oeming and Brian Michael Bendis, So, when I heard the news that Mr.Oeming made His own short film I was itching (crotch not included Ladies) to check it out, Well, it appears that Mr. Oeming is quite the Indie Filmmaker as well. SIX is a bizarre, artsy, and sometimes disturbing look into the world of Alien Agents (who appear Human) sent to Earth, under the watchful eye of the Alien equivalent of 1984's Big Brother. Agent Six is on the hunt for rogue agents who have decided to leave the Agency. Problem is that Rogue Agents eventually become insane, and are believed to contaminate fellow Agents. After tracking down the Rogue agent, and cleaning up the scene, Agent Six begins to have Human emotions, including doubt, which are strictly forbidden and believed to be signs of contamination. Six has to make a choice, and the end of the film answers some questions, but also leaves the door open for a possible sequel. I enjoyed this film because of the emphasis on strong visuals. Each scene almost resembeled a Comic Book panel, and moved along just as fast. Another thing to note is the fantastic display of Martial Arts in one of the films final scenes. Wow! Mighty fine first effort Mr. Oeming! What's next? a POWERS film would be nice (hint hint nudge), Unique, stylized, and Very cool indeed!
