Super

Frank D'Arbo, a shy, unassuming man, decides to become a superhero after his wife leaves him for a drug dealer. Donning a homemade costume and calling himself "Crimson Bolt," he sets out to fight crime with the help of his equally enthusiastic, albeit slightly unhinged, sidekick "Boltie."

Super received mixed to positive reviews from critics. While some praised its dark humor, unique take on the vigilante genre, and strong performances, others found its tone uneven and its violence gratuitous. Audiences were somewhat divided, with many appreciating its unconventional approach.

• Noted for its surprisingly dark and violent subject matter contrasted with its comedic elements.
• Performances, particularly from Rainn Wilson and Elliot Page, were often highlighted as strong points.
