7/10

A unique sci-fi drama.

This is a pretty touching film about a young, bald albino boy named Jeremy 'Powder' Reed (Sean Patrick Flannery) who has special powers that bewilders his community.

Flannery plays Reed pretty brilliantly, generating the audience's sympathy as he deals with his special condition and deal with adversities coming from members of his community, who ridicule him for his looks and unusual abilities.

The plot may not be fast-paced but it's a film that doesn't rely on the cliché Hollywood formula, instead, provides a unique story-line with a does of reality, despite its sci-fi elements. The acting was quite good, with a supporting role by Jeff Goldblum. Not a bad film overall.

Grade B

Anecdotes
When it was revealed halfway through production that director Victor Salva had been convicted for child molestation several years earlier, there was a great deal of consternation among many of the cast and crew. The main cause of concern was that many of the production members had brought their families to the set.

Gaffes
When Powder gets his first kiss with Lindsey, you see her standing when her father is coming towards them, but then in the next shot she's still sitting and just about to get up.
