A russian superhero movie. The title translates to "Black Lightning". I had fun watching it. A guy finds a flying car. It has many similarities with the first Spider-Man movie. His relationship with his father is directly lifted from that film (Uncle Ben). It is almost exactly the same motivation for that guy to use the flying car for good, as it was the motivation for Peter Parker to use his new powers for helping people. Even though it is not a high budget film, I enjoyed the action sequences with the car. It wasn't nearly as ridiculous as the premise would suggest.
