And just as he proved with Disturbia, director DJ Caruso is an incredibly sure hand at old-school adventures. His smartest move in this romantic thriller is assembling an immensely likeable cast – none of them are stars all of them leave us wanting more. Emerging as a solid screen presence, Alex Pettyfer’s teen superhero Number Four finds himself pretending to be a normal boy in an Ohio school populated by the usual suspects: he falls for the shy hottie A mysterious loner – whose supernatural powers are rivalled only by his soulful eyes – comes to a small town and becomes the talk of the high school: not only is he hot, but he has beams of light coming out of his palms. Essentially, he’s the science experiment you want to take to the prom. At his new school, he falls for the cute artistic girl and gets her involved in an ancient battle on which the fate of the world, not to mention box office superiority, will hinge. There will be revenge. There will be love. There will be sequels.
Yes, it sounds familiar, but I am Number Four is not Twilight, exactly. It’s more like Twilite, a less dark, less Gothic version of what happens when a cute mortal falls for Mr. Sensitive-Yet-Superhuman.
The hero here is an alien who calls himself John Smith (all the better to take you to cheap motels, my pretty) and is played by Alex Pettyfer (Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker) with blond gusto: he’s a combination of Edward cullen and Spider-Man (new motto: With great power comes great abs. )
John and his protector Henri (Deadwood’s Timothy Olyphant) are Loriens, beings who have come from a distant planet along with eight other teenagers who are all disguising themselves as Earthlings. They are being pursued by Mogadorians, evil creatures from the home planet who are tall, tattooed, wear long black coats, have bad teeth and torture their victims with near-comic overacting.
In addition, they have brought with them something animalistic that they carry in the back of a truck and feed on shrink-wrapped turkeys that they buy by the dozen from the grocery store.
