The Power of Few (2013)

One urban neighborhood is about to experience a moment of weird.  This is one of those colliding story line movies where a bunch of separate events and players converge in one event or series of events... (like in Snatch). Christopher Walken revises his fallen angel look from Prophecy 3 as a local TV celeb on the skids, privy to the next big event in human history.  Okay production wise this is more like an indie film, some of the acting is a little stiff and the dialogue in places is overtly vague when its unnecessary (a trick used to pull a viewer in when the plot won't do it).  Other places the players are absolutely brilliant (the shootout in the store).  It also gets to claim the dubious honor of hosting one of the most disturbing laughable scenes I have ever encountered outside of a Troma production. They wrap it up with a 'what if' foreboding potential doom but it comes with a warm fuzzy.  It really is the last 10 minutes that set this movie apart from others of its ilk. Maybe not something to go looking for but if opportunity presents itself I say you should take advantage, who knows... it just might make your day.
