I Am Number Four
Starring Alex Pettyfer, Timothy Olyphant, Dianna Agron
Written by Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, Marti Noxon
Directed by D.J. Caruso
Plot: An extraordinary teen masking his true identity as an extraterrestrial tries his best to blend in at a small-town high school while deadly enemies hunt him. Having killed three other like him -- he is Number Four on their list.


"Like a confused teenager, I Am Number Four doesn't know if it wants to be an angsty teen movie or sci-fi action bonanza. A little too similar to other stories like it with nothing original to offer on its own."
