Push, not even going to lie. I love this movie. People have judged me for it but I don't care.
I love the grittiness and look of it paired with the creative editing. Hong Kong also plays as a fantastic backdrop. The whole film was shot on location and that really comes through, gorgeous scenery. It gives the movie a unique feel.Chris Evans, who I've enjoyed for years, does a great job playing Nick. Only downside is there isn't much change to his character throughout the film, he seems to get a little smarter and his powers increase a little, but not to the extend you'd expect considering what's at stake.
Dakota Fanning is great as Cassie, and there… -
The movie version of "I Can't Believe It's Not X-Men."

They warned me, but I did not listen.

So this is part 1 of a TV show then yeah?...
Enjoyed it as I had my brain switched off in advance, loads of things wrong with it...too many ideas/powers being thrown at you at once but every main character was used well and likable. Kira was a bit 'meh' but I could look at Camilla Belle all day. Dakota Fanning was especially good, though her playing drunk was silly (probably a good thing seeing as she is so young as to not know what its like?)
But it just seems like half a film with the really interesting stuff still to come.

I actually love this film, I haven't found many other people that are that fussed on it though.
I quite like the fact it's a film about people with powers without being over the top or a superhero film.

What the actual fuck is this shit.
One star for the opening credits, the moment not long after which all interest in this film went out the window. -
After watching this film, I just wanted more. Would work great as a sci-fi tv show with some small tweaks. The characters are interesting. The plot is simple enough for a film like this one and the action is entertaining. A good hour and a half of sitting on the couch.

So long, so dull, so senseless, so mediocre, so... so... Pfff... I'm sure I won't watch it again.

Push feels like it exists very much in the same universe as Jumper. The heroes, the villains, the conflicts... the films share many similarities. They both put a more real-world twist on the superpowers genre, and both do their best to entertain. Unfortunately, Push also shares all the same problems that held back Jumper.
Primary among these is that rather than tell a self-contained story and let the audience decide if they want to see more, they've obviously tried to set this up as the first in a series, complete with a wide open ending. But in doing so, they've probably killed their own chances, as this makes for a good but unsatisfying movie.
It's a shame really, because the…

Muy a mi sorpresa no es tan mala película, desconozco si hay una parte dos, pero lo vi bastante viable después del final.
Also PAAAAAAAAAIIIINNNNNNNNNN.

I have to admit that I was hoping for more when I put this on. It had my interest initially but that soon wavered and I cared little for the outcome.

An intriguing concept that starts out well but ends with a totally untenable finale. Evans is a very interesting actor but seems to work best in an ensemble cast rather than trying to carry the whole load. Fanning is just okay and Hansou has done a lot better work than this.
