Plots(1)
Griff - office worker by day, superhero by night - has his world turned upside down when he meets Melody, a beautiful young scientist who shares his passion for the impossible. By day Griff (Ryan Kwanten) is an everyday office worker, in an everyday town. He lives a secluded life, bullied by co-workers (Toby Schmitz) - his protective brother his only friend. By night Griff assumes his other identity, roaming the dark streets protecting the innocent and the vulnerable from the dangers that lurk in the shadows - he is the hero, Griff the Invisible. Increasingly concerned by Griff's eccentric behaviour, his brother (Patrick Brammall) attempts to draw him back into the 'real world'. In doing so he introduces Griff to Melody (Maeve Dermody) an equally eccentric and charming girl. Fascinated by Griff's idiosyncrasies, which are equal only to her own, Melody begins to fall for Griff. As Griff is forced to face up to realities of a mundane world, it is up to Melody to rescue Griff the Invisible for the sake of herself, Griff and their love for each other. (Matchbox Films)

Griff was quite peculiar, and I mean both the film and the character. It took me a while before I was able to fully distinguish between fantasy and reality. The filmmakers did a great job of confusing me, I have to give them credit for that. The film has a little bit of everything; a little bit of comedy, a little bit of drama, and a little bit of romance, none of which dominates over everything else. It’s probably the reason why I’m not giving it a higher rating. I think that much more could have been gotten out of the premise, and it feels as if the filmmakers got stuck about halfway through. The film is as odd as the two main characters, and I approached it from two points of view. On the one hand, it shows what it’s like when a person who lives beyond reality is truly understood. On the other, it answers the question as to why it’s not a good idea for two people to start a relationship when both of them have a problem with an addiction of some sort. Finally, I can't help but comment on Maeve Dermody. In the past, I would have called her a beautiful, sexy woman, but that's not allowed anymore, so I won't do that. / Lesson learned: If you're trying to walk through a wall, don't do it with a running start.
