Fantastic!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The film opens with 3 men in ski masks (and no gloves) robbing a guarded building of its glow sticks. On their way out they encounter the evil Wraith, a man in a black cloak hoodie and a cheap demon voice echo enhancer...oooooh scary, Darth Maul move over. These guys all have special powers, i.e. stop bullets, create fire, create lightning, and influence people with their glow in the dark contacts.The movie shifts to 8 years later. Two of the Freeman kids visit super dad in prison and he imparts some of his power to them who in turn touch their siblings who also get power, turning them into a mini "Fantastic Four" to the dismay of their doting mother. It is during their visit he recaps the plot, leaving a lot of stuff out so we feign interest. The acting was extremely bad. The plot reminded me of something I saw in an X-Men movie, with Uncle Sam hunting down the mutants. Bianca Freeman (Erin Kupay), who appears she might of had a year of drama studies, is the closet thing to an actor in this film. The title "Bomb Squad" is from a virtual game one of the pimply faced boys play. He wanted to call his group the "Bomb Squad" with cool, if not meaningless nicknames, but no one else wanted yo go along. So they weren't really called the Bomb Squad except to one kid...but hey what else are you going to call it? "Stolen X-Men Script" Who's going to watch that?The bad dialogue, acting, and filler material dragged down the film. These are things that a writer-director has control over and don't cost a dime more. Your ten year old might like it.No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

BOMB SQUAD is an indie superhero flick aimed at a young adult audience. It feels a little like X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, which was the obvious inspiration here. The story is about a group of kids battling evil, and it does have a fast-paced plot that helps you take your mind off all the usual problems associated with independent cinema. The limited CGI effects offer cheesy fun but this film needed more oomph to be a success.

So I watched this on Amazon Prime, I didn't know anything about it, including the budget.I thought the story could have used more tightening up. However, while I thought that the acting could use some work, particularly among the supporting adult cast, the main characters all seemed to be at least watchable(Not really good...but not bad).My biggest annoyance was the lack of realism on the part of the soldiers.If a secret government organization ( or the military) is after you, your cell phone would be tracked, and I wouldn't recommend driving the same car you normally do.Also, I'm not sure if I missed something, but if the military already knows where you live (and your mother) why would they ask the school for your address? Was the dad somehow wiping the information from them constantly? And if they already knew before(which isn't clear), then why wouldn't they have been monitoring(electronic devices etc), these 'potential threats'. Was the dad stopping it somehow? Just a few details that made me wonder.The special effects...while nothing mind blowing, I didn't really have much of a problem with.AFTER I looked it up, and found out the budget, I would say I am actually quite impressed with it. For just $12,000 it was outstanding.As another reviewer said, it was better than some kid show pilots.

This movie plays like a made-for-TV pilot for one of the kid's channels. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad movie, but for $12,000 you can't expect too much. The acting is pretty wooden by just about everyone and the story feels like it's missing about half of what it needed so that you'd care about anyone. For something done as cheaply as this the effects are really pretty good (much better then most every movie made for Syfy). If this were a TV pilot I'd probably watch a few episodes to see if it were going to get any better. The movie ends like there might be a sequel. I don't see there being a big demand for it, but for 12K there probably will be. Hopefully they'll get a big enough budget next time so they can include acting lessons.
