Movie Review: ‘Chronicle’
Glowering into the camera, a teenager slowly clenches his hand into a fist. Behind him, in sync with his hand’s movement, a car crumples and implodes, metal grinding and glass detonating.

Alex Russell in “Chronicle,” has a close encounter with an airborne bus and uses his telekinetic abilities during a fierce battle above Seattle. CGFactory—TM and Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
