It's A Medical Miracle's Superhero Promise Undone By Confused Thriller
It's A Medical Miracle is about Ruben, who wakes up after being in a coma for two years.
He discovers that he can hear things much more clearly and loudly than normal.
He tries to understand this power while looking for Susanna, a nurse who cared for him.
Ruben also becomes involved in helping a police officer investigate kidnappings.
The movie has some exciting scenes where he uses his hearing to rescue people.
However, the story suddenly becomes much darker and more disturbing.
The review says some characters make choices that do not make enough sense.
It praises the actors but concludes that the movie does not fully use its interesting superhero idea.
Ruben awakens from a two-year coma with unusually amplified hearing after an accident.
The film initially uses Ruben’s new ability for inventive, feel-good superhero moments and a rescue storyline.
Its screenplay shifts abruptly from light superhero entertainment to disturbing drama, including a brutal sexual-assault sequence.
The review criticizes several character decisions and investigative gaps as illogical or insufficiently justified.
Performances by Sangeeth Prathap, Sharaf U Dheen and Akhila Bhargavan are praised despite the film’s uneven writing.
