Fri 12 Dec 2006HE'S A HIGH FLYERREVIEWED - SPECIAL:OVERSTRETCHED, even at a brief 81 minutes, Special feels like a clever, low-budget exercise, rather than a fully grown feature film. But it's an engaging, funny business featuring a decent performance from Michael Rapaport and a script packed with mischievously enjoyable conspiracy theories.Rapaport plays a traffic warden and comic enthusiast who, suffering psychological side effects during a drugs trial, believes himself to be in possession of super-powers. Initially we are tempted to share his delusions as he levitates before us and appears to read the minds of his friends and colleagues. Then, in a troubling and amusing scene, we watch him risk concussion as he runs into - not, as he hopes, through - a stubbornly unyielding brick wall.
