Alex Pettyfer stars in the brisk genre mash-up, I Am Number Four.

Things are looking up, until Johns face ends up on the Internet.

Thankfully, Henri is on hand to explain all these things to John (and the audience).

Meanwhile, the hunters hunt, and another of Johns kind seeks him out so you can fight back.

When all seems lost, however, another ridiculously attractive young woman comes to save the day.

Thankfully, shes not the running away key in, shes happier to stay and fight.

Most recently seen in Beastly, also based on a novel, the novel adaptation theme continues here.

Henri is little more than an exposition engine.

Thankfully, he is played by the versatile Timothy Olyphant.

3 stars

Hes good at what he does, even when theres very little for him to do.

Its not a difficult role to play, and it comes as no surprise that she does it well.

Despite such a good cast, its actually Callan McAuliffe, as Sam, who steals to show.

3 stars

Theres just enough cultural reference in this to make you think theyre not trying too hard to be cool.

Surely this is a good thing?

The picture is incredibly sharp, exceeding 30Mbps, and being detailed and seemingly free from artefacts or noise.

3 stars

In the daylight, everything looks stunning, though night scenes are sometimes a bit too dark.

Disappointingly, there are no cast or crew interviews, nor is there a Making Of or commentary.

Its a bit surprising that such a mainstream release lacks a decent helping of special features.

DJ Caruso presents a handful of deleted scenes that have been put back together.

He explains that the scenes were removed for a variety of reasons.
