What a flop. I expected a lot more from this but unfortunately it fell flat with a bland story-line that felt incredibly rushed and had no point to it. The secret behind his magical powers are exposed half way through the movie and they try to explain it with "engineering" but it ends up feeling incredibly stupid. I would've preferred a "Now You See Me" style twist with literal magic over this seudo-science crap. The only good takeway from this was Seychelle Gabriel's hotness.

I thought this was a very well written and well acted movie. A nice change from the regular over blown superhero movie.

As with the recent Kin, this is a mix of social commentary and science fiction. It's not a bad film, but it is rather imbalanced. Those looking for the sci-fi elements might feel short-changed, as they happen during the last half hour of the film, and too quickly at that. A sequel would be welcome, however, as there is scope for something more.

Almost everything that happens in _Sleight_ made me think "Oh, this is just like where this happens in that other, better, movie". But the fact that it's original IP overall is refreshing, and just because someone else did it **better**, doesn't mean _Sleight_ doesn't do it very well.

I saw this movie last year when it came out. I thought it was very cool and a nice take on the superhero origin story, along with "young black man makes it out of the ghetto" story. Not very believable towards the end, but the acting and the rules they established earlier on made it work.
