written and directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer, "Archenemy" is infused with style and an intriguing premise, but the execution is lacking; Joe Manganiello, fails to bring enough emotional heft or levity to make you care about Max
there's something uniquely bold about the type of world-building that Mortimer does with Archenemy; even if he didn't have a huge budget to fall back on, the ambitious director still goes all out with some killer visual aesthetics and a ton of ingenuity
overall, while not quite landing all of its punches, "Archenemy" is a fast-paced, raging addition to the deconstructed underbelly of the Superhero genre. If you like action, animation, then you should definitely check it out
it's a gonzo sci-fi/superhero film that is injected with neon-infused violence and chaos. The performances were great; it gives the superhero genre a modern and realistic feel that is absent from a lot of their big-budget counterparts
