This movie hypes up as it starts right off the bat with this kid getting shot and gaining a sort of super power. He apparently, sort of, blocks the shot with the bullet hitting the phone then his head as the phone was being held to his ear. So, shards get stuck in there and now he can control all electronic things. Super cool holographic user interface for him and everything.
However, he's a pathetic snowflake and fails to do anything meaningful or lasting with it. He tries to white knight for a female rape victim (BTW, he of course likes her and is too shy to talk to her about it, aka: tired trope).
So, mister White Knight tries to take on the rapists and get's them some meager jail time by hiding drugs at their houses.
Then, the big bad boss comes around bails out rapists and little lily boy, ahem, IBoy get's shook. He panics and wants to lose his power so everything will go back to normal. You guessed it, it doesn't work and Doc blows him off.
Big bad boss man puts his family and friends lives in danger and still this little twerp cowers and won't go scorched earth on the pricks.
It all ends with the snowflake apologizing to the rape victim for trying to help. Worse, she actually makes him feel better after everything.
In conclusion, this is only gets a few points for novelty. It loses big time because of the message that you should stay a victim and never fight back and if you do fight back, you're somehow also a terrible person. UNBELIEVABLY LAME.

PS: The terrible gang is still operating in the end in case you missed that.
