Movie Seen

A couple of nights ago, I saw an interesting movie on Netflix streaming called "Black Lightning".  This is a Russian film about a young man who given a car for his birthday which is an old 1950's Volga which unbeknownst to him has something called nanocyst (or something close to that) installed on it (similar to a "flux capacitor" from "Back to the Future".  He discovers that it has the ability to fly and tremendous speeds (a bit faster than "The Nutty Professor" with Fred McMurry and his flying car).  He has the attitude given to him from a professor that "everyone is out for themselves" and when he is to go meet his father, is waiting in his car for him, a woman frantically knocks on his window that someone needs help.   He responds with "Calling an ambulance is free.", not knowing that it is is father who needs help after being stabbed.

When he finds this out and the ambulance driver tells him "If only we had been called sooner." he changes his attitude toward life and vows to use his car to fight crime and injustice.  He masters the flying of the car and uses it to catch criminals and help people in trouble (rescues a child from a burning building) and becomes an unknown hero to many.  I give it 4 of 5 stars as it's one of those unknown gems that make you feel good.
