The idea of 'drug reaction causes man to think he has superpowers' definitely has potential, but this film didn't fulfill it. Aside from bad acting by everyone but Michael Rapaport (and who knows how he would have done if he'd been forced off his one note), there was questionable characterization (is the Simpson's Comic Book Guy really a believable model for a store proprietor?) and unbelievable situations (none of his friends called 911? Not even when he was injured, obviously delusion and locked in a store bathroom overnight? No police officer recognized him in all the time he wandered around in that singular getup?). Further the 'rich, evil corporation owner' plot is due for a rest.
Switching the viewer in and out of Rapaport's character's point-of-view was an effective way to heighten tension, though: even with our knowledge of 'what was really happening' it was difficult not to view things from Les's perspective.
