So, 'Strike' is quite an interesting little short film from 2013. It mixes comedy with that classic superhero vibe, but there's a certain charm to its low-budget feel. The pacing has a nice rhythm—jumps between John’s personal struggles and his newfound powers are handled well, even if the narrative can feel a bit rushed at times. The practical effects, especially in how they depict his electric abilities, are surprisingly clever for a short. You can tell they had fun with it. The performances are a mixed bag, but John Eckert’s character is relatable and carries the film. Overall, it’s a quirky take on the superhero genre that stands apart from the usual fare.
