Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

A_Different_Drummer The movie drags viewers into a world when psychic abilities are common and each ability has a cute name.The pity is that Hollywood itself totally lacks any of these abilities, most especially the "watchers." Otherwise someone would have noticed that the great ideas in the story were steam-rolled under a chewy and wandering script.As I have said in some 1350+ reviews here, the key to a good movie is audience connection. It is that simple. In the opening of the Matrix for example we connect with Neo and he carries us through the film.Here all the characters are in a "connection vacuum" save for Fanning who holds the attention by star power alone. It is ironic how the script makes such a fuss about her "being 13 years old" when typical of Hollywood she was at the time 15 "playing younger." Turns out the strange world presented in the movie is quite normal and boring compared to the inner workings of Tinseltown itself.This film could have been something special. Instead it will go into the annals of film history as merely an oddity.

Fluke_Skywalker With its young expatriate protagonists on the run from those who would exploit their powers, all set against the backdrop of an exotic Asian setting, 'Push' is sort of like 'X-Men' via cyberpunk godfather William Gibson.All of the mythology and mumbo-jumbo has clearly been well thought out here, but after its initial info dump very little of it is clearly explained, forcing you to piece it together as best you can.It's certainly a stylish film, and the various powers are rendered in interesting ways, but the film is sorely lacking in tension, making the whole affair seem rather weightless.

Python Hyena Push (2009): Dir: Paul McGuigan / Cast: Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle, Djimon Hounsou, Ming-Na Wen: Inventive adventure that plays with mind, matter and logic. Title doesn't exactly describe this science fiction thriller in full but the special effects and action are the payoff. Plot regards government agents seeking individuals with special powers while those sought seek a case containing an antidote. Clever but plays off the expected action violence in third act. Directed by Paul McGuigan who previously made the underrated Wicker Park as well as Lucky Number Sleven. Chris Evans plays a telekinetic who witness his father's death as a boy. He will become involved in a plot where he must locate the antidote as well as protect a past lover. Dakota Fanning plays a young contact who can see the future. She becomes instrumental in pushing Evans forward as well as provide key information towards the end. Camilla Belle plays a woman sought by government agents. She was once involved with Evans but now she is on the run as the first survivor of the experiment. Ming-Na Wen also assists then in their search. She is fortune teller in Hong Kong. Finally there is Djimon Hounsou who plays the sly villain responsible for the death of the hero's father. Perhaps his dismiss was anti climatic but this is a pointless effects spectacle that pushes for entertainment. Score: 6 / 10

haidee-hoyos This film, the first time I saw it, got me extremely excited even watching the trailers. To be honest you wouldn't get bored or tired of this film as around every corner there was action and drama. The story was pretty good and almost realistic (and believable!). The special effects in this film are absolutely amazing, everything is surreal yet real. This film makes you believe what you're watching. The acting was brilliant; it wasn't one of those cheap kind of acting. Djimon Hounsou played 'Henry Carver' extremely well, not only did his acting match perfectly with the character but he acted as the bad guy so well it was so realistic.But unfortunately there won't be a sequel to this film as the producers thought that the film didn't turn out so well, however, they have thought about turning this film into a television shows as the sequel as a film would have either been to short to fit enough detail in, or too long to fit enough events in. Overall, I highly recommend this film to everyone who enjoys watching Supernatural themed programmes.
