The red shirts had a few bad hours in this one.
Enhanced (2019) is a muddled tale of a small collection of humans, enhanced to superpower status against their will as children, who are now being hunted by a government responsible for that enhancement.
And being hunted by something else.
Unfortunately, unlike, say, the TV show Heroes (2006-2010), not much imagination is on display here. The enhanced humans are faster and stronger, but little else. They mostly want to be left alone; there’s little ambition or mental problems, not to even think about moral questions, brought on by the fact that they at least appear to be superior to everyone else.
Then add in the ultimate hunter who consumes their souls, and by now, We Don’t Care.
In other words, this is mostly about the fact that dropping a dumpster on lead character Anna not only doesn’t squish her, it barely even phases her. And while it’s pleasant that we needn’t view her mutilated innards, beyond that it’s just a relief that we’re making progress towards the end of this story.
In other words, this movie is not worth hunting down.
