The Power Of Few is set in New Orleans, where a smuggling ring's efforts to steal a priceless artifact unfold through the perspective of five sets of characters, each with overlapping story lines. A young girl nicknamed Few observes as multiple lives collide into one when the choices of a single person affect the outcome of all their stories, in a world where everything is interconnected.

The 1.78:1 1080p AVC picture is a low-budget effort that generally exhibits a natural quality with minimal production design. Mostly shot on location in downtrodden New Orleans neighborhoods, the overall impression is rather depressing. Hues are naturally toned with decent blacks and shadow delineation. Resolution is decent, especially during close-ups, and otherwise is softly focused. Overall, this is a decent visual experience but not particularly engaging. (Gary Reber)
The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is limited as well in production value. A pulsating, garage-produced, synthesized music score permeates the soundtrack. Atmospherics are restricted to the frontal soundstage and are narrowly focused. Sound effects, such as explosions, are effective but limited, though, deep bass is frequently energized in the .1 LFE channel. Surround activity is limited to the music and the effects. Dialogue is poorly integrated and sounds "produced." This is an overall mediocre sonic experience. (Gary Reber)
