Phenomenon (1996)



This came on TMN, so I sat down to watch it. In a lot of ways, this is what Limitless should have been: a story about unlocked potential and the emotional consequences of that potential. It's so well played here, maybe Limitless had to completely diverge in order to establish it's own path.

It's funny that in 1996 this movie pushed the idea of green energy (solar panels, etc) yet today those technologies still haven't been established in a widespread fashion. Being a bit of a treehugger, I liked seeing those references.

All of the main characters here were captivating, and had great chemistry together. Kyra Sedgwick really brought this home for me.
