Dir: Leon Ford

Like the tag line says: "The world can make us invisible. Courage can make us incredible. Love can make us invincible". This film should have been called Metaphor Man. Don't expect a Kick-Ass type of film or even Defendor, Griff the Invisible is as good as both aforementioned films but wins for originality. Not easy in this now popular sub-genre. It is a little hard to get into at first but it is worth sticking with, once you have 'got it' it becomes a much more enjoyable film. It might sound funny but I wonder whether it could have been improved with a smaller budget as this sometimes pushes film makers to be that little more visual and use tricks (think Evil Dead). While Leon Ford told the story well, I can't help but think a more visually creative director would have been a better choice.
