The performances, special effects, and creativity are all great with this one. It's much more than your standard super-dudes trading punches. They really show how dangerous these sorts of abilities can be.
Aside from that, it seems there's alot of real world problems they seem to draw comparisons to. Drugs, government sketchiness, family hardship, natural disaster, and even a bit of PTSD. It seems like alot, but they manage to pull it off without you thinking about it too much.
My only gripe is that they remind you they're in NOLA every 5 minutes. I don't think I've ever seen a movie mention the name of the city so many times, or drop other direct references so often. Nothing against the city (I'm from the area), but it's just weird to do so many times.
