Odd Thomas (2013)

Odd Thomas is a young man with premonition and other supernatural abilities who helps the police in murder cases or predicts other bad events.

'Odd Thomas' is a dark adventure movie that looks and feels like a Young Adult novel based film, but is actually an adaptation of a Dean Koontz novel. The film stars the late and beloved Anton Yelchin in the lead role, which makes the film tolerable, but in general, the picture is a disoriented mixture of a multitude of ​​chain reaction events, which overloads the viewer without allowing him get attached to the characters or the idea of ​​their failure.

Director:  Stephen Sommers      
With: Anton Yelchin, Ashley Sommers, Leonor Varela, Matthew Page, Willem Dafoe
