The film actually has a fun concept, and it looks like it will be a silly yet enjoyable flick. Here’s the synopsis for Supervized:
SUPERVIZED tells the story of an elderly group of international superheroes retired to Dunmanor nursing home in Ireland. Ray is the once world renowned ‘Maximum Justice’ who as his nom de plume suggests will fight bad with good till the cows come home. He finds it hard to accept that his hero days are over and now it’s bingo games and blanket baths. His old team consisting of trusted sidekick Ted AKA ‘Shimmy’, old flame Madera ‘Moonlight’ and rival at everything Pendle ‘Total Thunder’ are far more accepting of their undignified destiny. When Jerry, ‘Rainbow Warrior,’ dies after having his superpowers ‘downwardly managed’ for the safety of others, a federation sectioned procedure, Ray suspects foul play and decides to investigate. The rest of the gang is not so convinced, and Ray finds himself battling against not only his enemies, but the stigma and restrictions of old age.
The film was directed by Steve Barron from a script written by Andy Briggs and John Niven. Supervized also stars Fionnula Flanagan, Elya Baskin, and Fiona Glascott.
Supervized flies into theaters and on VOD on July 19th, 2019.
