Adventures in Cosplay (2018)

아내를 마약판매상의 손아귀에 빼앗긴 뒤 평범한 남성이던 주인공은 슈퍼 히어로 크림슨 볼트로 변신한다. 초능력을 갖고 있지는 않지만 크림슨 볼트는 세상을 위해 활동하겠다고 다짐한다. 수퍼히어로 블록버스터만큼이나 이제는 주된 장르로 자리잡은 ‘어눌한 수퍼히어로’ 영화인 "수퍼"는 평범한 현대인의 일상에 대한 날카로운 풍자를 수퍼히어로 영화에 대한 일종의 패러디로 담아낸다. 스매쉬 히트를 기록한 독립 코미디영화 "주노"의 두 스타인 레인 윌슨, 엘렌 페이지가 다시 의기투합한 영화. "아마게돈"의 리브 타일러의 모습도 반갑다.

히어로는 무슨. 하지만 범죄가 슈퍼히어로 스토리를 빼다 박았다면? 신참 형사가 사건 해결을 위해 공조 아닌 공조를 시작한다. 퍼즐 조각에 불과한 연쇄 살인. 그 큰 그림을 볼 수 있는 건 코믹스라면 꽉 잡은 만화 가게 주인뿐이니까.
