“Above The Shadows” (** out of four) was a pretty blah melodrama about a young woman (Olivia Thirlby) who realizes from childhood she has a problem with gradually becoming invisible to others and she subsequently finds as she gets older that only one man (Alan Ritchson), who is coincidentally a faded MMA fighter, can see her and thus- save her and in turn save himself. Very corny story is helped by the sincere performances of its two leads but it becomes awfully tough to take, especially as it’s stretched out to nearly two hours. Megan Fox is given top-billing here but she only appears in one scene at the very end!
