After his wife falls under the influence of a drug dealer, an everyday guy transforms himself into Crimson Bolt, a superhero with the best intentions, but lacking in heroic skills.
If you can get past all of the unnecessary weirdness at the beginning of the film, you will see an entertaining story about why "real people" should NOT attempt to be super heroes and try to fight crime.
FUN FACT: Rainn Wilson came to the project via Jenna Fischer's relationship with her ex-husband James Gunn. Gunn was discussing his script with Fischer and asked her to take a look at it, sending her a copy on the set of The Office (2005). Fischer read the script, loved it and thought Wilson would be a great choice as the lead. She gave the script to her co-worker, and Wilson immediately decided to make the film.
