In the dead of night, a body donated for organ transplants mysteriously disintegrates into ashes. Soon after, five recipients, given a heart, corneas, lungs, liver, and kidneys, begin to develop supernatural powers. A teenage girl gains immense strength, a hipster manipulates electromagnetic waves, a novelist summons powerful gusts, a factory manager can heal others, and a woman discovers a strange, still-unidentified ability. Together, they form a reluctant but heroic team known as "HI-FIVE." But they aren't the only ones transformed. A cult leader who received the donor's pancreas gains the terrifying power to drain life energy and sets his sights on stealing the abilities of HI-FIVE to achieve godlike domination.

As a result, it was easy for me to enjoy Hi-Five! Not only is its creativity unmatched in the landscape of superhero entertainment...

Screen International

A wilfully kooky superhero origin story with little on its mind beyond a good time.

Despite this eclectic cadre of charismatic characters and a set-up wielding innumerable possibilities, Hi-Five fails to unlock its full potential.

Rated: 2/5

NYC Movie Guru

A mildly engaging and amusing, but shallow, unimaginative and often silly superhero satire that's not funny, clever or thrilling enough.

Wildly entertaining and subversive take on superpower movies, channeling the Flash and the Guardians flicks with its island of misfit toys who gather together when they discover they share the same donor. Aside from the silly repartee, some cutting social satire lampooning religious cults, worker safety, internet trolls, KPop idols and the Korean auntie meme. Brilliant!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
