Finally there is a movie in 2011 worth seeing. “No Strings Attached” was a pretty funny movie, but the R-rated comedy is not for everyone. “I Am Number Four” the new science fiction, action movie by director D.J. Caruso (“Disturbia”) and based on the book of the same name can be enjoyed by everyone and should.
Alex Pettyfer is John Smith, also known as Number four. He is an alien living on planet Earth as one of us (it helps he looks just like an earthling). Eight others are also on our planet. They had to flee their home world before it was destroyed. Timothy Olyphant plays his guardian as each number, one through nine all have a guardian to watch over and train them to use their alien abilities once they surface. The aliens who annihilated their home world are on earth and killing the surviving member of John Smith’s species in order. One, two and three have been killed. John Smith is next.
