American Hero

American Hero (2015) is a sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nick Love and starring Stephen Dorff as a telekinetic mess of a human being who has spent years burying his abilities under booze, drugs, and bad decisions.

Melvin can move objects with his mind. He'd rather not. His relationship with his son has quietly collapsed, and every brush with responsibility ends the same way — until a near-death moment makes the excuses harder to sell. Armed with his telekinesis and his fast-talking best friend Lucille (Eddie Griffin), he sets out to clean up the streets of New Orleans. The city needs him more than he'd like to admit.

Shot in a found-footage style on actual New Orleans locations, this is a small, scrappy superhero film that gets more mileage out of character failure than out of spectacle. Stream American Hero (2015) online on iFILM.
