In this action sci-fi thriller, the handsome British rising star, Alex Pettyfer is John, also known as Number Four, one of the last Lorian warring aliens left, hunted by the evil Mogadorians. With Henri (Timothy Olyphant) as his protector, John is always on the run. At school he encounters Sarah (Dianna Agron), his love interest, and the nerd Sam (Callan McAuliffe), picked on by head bully, Mark (Jake Abel) and schoolmates.Tension and pace pick up in the feature's latter half with added special effects as John discovers his special powers. Performances are good while the awesome Timothy Olyphant merits more screen presence. The mysterious Teresa Palmer, as the Lorian alien survivor Number Six, is a scene grabber with her fast pace, high action sequences while McAuliffe provides elements of comic relief.
Based on Pittacus Lore's six book best seller, the feature is geared towards the teen audience, has a satisfying conclusion and is suggestive of a sequel.
