A teenage fugitive with an incredible secret races to stay one step ahead of the mysterious forces seeking to track and destroy him in this sci-fi action thriller from director D.J. Caruso (Disturbia, Eagle Eye). With three dead and one on the run, the race to find the elusive Number Four begins. Outwardly normal teen John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) never gets too comfortable in the same identity, and along with his guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant), he is constantly moving from town to town -- the perpetual new kid in a series of strangely familiar schools. Despite the fact that his nomadic lifestyle has made it difficult to form meaningful connections, John experiences the joy of first love with a beautiful young woman (Dianna Agron) and begins to unlock his full potential after arriving with Henri in a small Ohio town. With each passing day, John gains a stronger grasp on his extraordinary new powers, and his bond to the beings that share his fantastic fate grows stronger.

  1. Negative review
    Philip French, Guardian [UK] The logic is dodgy, and the most frightening aspect is the sequel promised at the end. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Simon Foster, sbs.com.au The film's potency as either a kicker for a potential series or as a standalone must-see event film are limp, to say the least. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] The setting is the sleepy American town of Dullsville. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph It's all glum, pseudo-rebellious attitude, with none of the gentle charm of John Carpenter's Starman. Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia) The only thing I liked about the film was that these monsters that the Mogodorians keep in the truck are fed with frozen turkeys from the supermarket. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia) The action is well-done, some things are downright silly but I didn't have a problem entering into the spirit of things. Full review External link
