DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: CHRONICLE (2012)

We saw CHRONICLE (2012) at Cinema 1, SM Mall of Asia on Feb. 4, 2012 Saturday. What if a kid with personality disorder obtained some super powers ? answer: be a super villain kid of course ! That's exactly what happened to Andrew Detmer (Dane DeHaan) but in a darker, disturbing and non-cartooney kind of way thanks to a smart script. The story spins out of the standard superhero origin story and dealt with a psychiatric twist on it. The film also borrowed the 'Blair Witch Project' style of video footages put together to tell a story. Engaging and entertaining film with fine acting from Dane DeHaan. Yup, not all heroes are super, some are really pissed off ! Baddest teen movie I've seen with a twist. Get your popcorns ready here. My ratings: 5 out of 5 Biscuits !
