This is basically a spy movie if the spy movie had to be over by youth group. Wait. Not spy. There's a cartel and a box that makes unlimited energy, which is the same McGuffin as, hold on, I want to say The Saint, no that's not right, it's more like a Sunday-school Bourne. I take that back. Bourne knows how to cut. Simon Orwell is a gifted student who has made a mess of himself, which is my favorite kind of gifted student. A professor calls about a device. Simon goes to Mexico. The professor is dead. Cartel. Orphanage. At the orphanage is Harold Finch, played by Fred Dalton Thompson, who walked away from NASA to run the place, and I believed Fred Thompson more than I believed the device, because Fred Thompson has a face that has already decided the meeting is over. The energy gadget is the thing. Unlimited. You can see the poster in the title. I wanted them to linger on the machine the way Primer lingers, or even the way a bad Sci-Fi Channel movie lingers, just show me the screws. They don't. They show me the lesson about potential, which I already walked in knowing. Inspired by true events, meaning Finch was a real NASA guy, which I had to look at twice because the movie also has a cartel chase, and those two genres are shaking hands over a folding table. Craft-wise the Mexico of it is beige and wide. The orphanage has the good faces. Daniel Ross Owens plays Simon like a man who learned physics from a montage. I got excited once, when they almost explained the device, and then a gun showed up and I slumped. Not because I mind guns. Because the gun was doing the plot's homework. I would rather have a forty-minute interview with the real Finch than this thriller that keeps apologizing for being a thriller. Still. Thompson. I watched him listen, and that is not nothing.
