dawnmgilliam Push had a pretty interesting plot in an exciting world. I had no trouble becoming vested in the characters and story but I did wish there was more background on the life of the main character. Still, they gave us plenty. The show was full of twists and turns all of which you should expect from a suspense, mystery, superhero, thriller. In the end this movie did what all good movies do, leave you wanting more. I can't help but feel this movie has been very underrated. I have re-watched this movie several times and it was even entertaining the second time. I hope someday it's gets a sequel .. I would like to know how it ultimately all turns out.

Nicole C Evans fits well with his character and his chemistry with Fanning is charming. Both do a great job in keeping the film grounded and though there are supernatural elements to this, it feels very real and rugged. The rest of the cast too were good, though some lines feel like they were delivered quite monotonously. I really would have loved it if they had more of Ming-Na Wen though. She plays Emily, and appears in a few scenes then absolutely disappears in the ending.The setting and the cultural input also really helped to bring some colour to the film. It also made it easier to have a kind of Mafia and guns going on thing since the Chinese are typically used as gangsters in films. Now that I think about it, the stereotypical roles in this regarding race is so very typical and horrible. Evans, Fanning and Belle who are all white, are also the good guys. Division is run by a black person, and the other group going against them are the Chinese gangsters. Wow.On to other things, the visual effects were well done and kept to a minimal which made it more realistic. The cinematography, editing and directing was all well done and came together quite well.The story was pretty intricate but not hard to follow and I really liked it. It seems unfair to end it the way it did, and I am expecting a sequel but seeing as there still isn't any, I'm a bit disappointed. This film does seem to be underrated and apart from the stereotypic racial roles, I quite like this film.Read more movie reviews at: championangels.wordpress.com

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.

axopnk Push is a interesting film. It had a lot of potential but ultimately it fell flat. I think the biggest problem with Push is the storyline became a convoluted mess that the director/writer really couldn't get out of. It felt like the ending was literally written on spot. This is my understanding. Dakota fanning (a watcher who can see the future) meets Chris Evans (a mover who can move things with his mind) to team up to find Camille Belle (A pusher who can push thoughts into peoples minds) who holds the key to bring down the division. The division is a top secret branch who uses people of there ability. The movie doesn't really explain what the division uses these people for. I'm assuming covert operations etc but it's never really explained. One of their experiments enhances their abilities and Camille Belle is the only one to survive.Chris wants to help because his dad told him to follow a girl later who gives him a flower (which ends up being Dakota) and to save her mom. Further, the mom foresaw this years ago. Problem is I don't understand how exactly by saving Camille the division would be brought down. If any of the people wanted to expose the division they could have done so easily (Dakota and Chris for example). In fact, in the end they never exposed the division. One could argue the division was actually after the drug that Camille stole but than why was the division even after Camille? Why did the division even take her later if all they wanted was the drug. It's clear they wanted Camille because she was the only one to survive. But then why care about the drug? As Djmon stated no one survived. So who cares if other people take it?Another gaping question is why would someone not want to enhance they're abilities? If the division is offering why not do it and become better? There had to be a reason why Dakota and Chris are better people to say no before becoming power hungry. Dakota never saves her mom and at the end, killing Djmon doesn't change that. Anyways the division sends sniffers and 20 of they're best watchers after her. Problem with the division is they never felt threatening or all powerful. We never see more than 4 agents and those 20 watchers are never seen. Another thing is the division agents have the same powers as Chris Dakota etc. but the movie never explains why they're after they're own kind or why they work for the division. One thing i don't understand is the shadow and the wiper who are helping Camille. What exactly was they're motivation? The wiper says it's because Dakota's mother foresaw it and I guess for money. Pretty weak in my opinion. The shadow who hid the briefcase for Camille had no explanation as to why she was helping nor was she seen again. Very odd. The Chinese were OK. They wanted the drug to enhance there abilities. But if the Chinese girl is such a great watcher, can't she see there own deaths in taking the drug? Finally we get to Chris's big plan. He hands out letters to each person and told not to read it as it involves a briefcase which holds the drug. Melinda may's character is never seen again after she opens her letter. Indian guy changes the briefcase then leaves. Shadow guy takes Camille to Djmon then never seen again. Overall the 1st plan was to "insult" the Chinese watcher because the only thing it accomplished was the Chinese finding out it was the wrong briefcase. Weird. People may argue his plan was to make sure the Chinese don't know his true intention but that's the problem with this film. This whole plot could easily be edited out but the watchers power is too great and the writer seems that he backed himself into a corner. That's the problem with movies about future etc. It's OK as long as there is limits. Here, there seems to be no limits. It makes story writing a convoluted mess. Even weirder is the Stitcher's motivation. She heals Chris in the beginning of the movie for unknown reasons than back stabs him later for money. Later she is tied up and left. So the Chinese get hold of the fake brief case find out it's fake then go after the correct brief case. That should have been edited out. Pointless. Finally they set up a trap. Division vs Chinese at same place for the briefcase . Chris Evans then fights the division mover (which for some reason he now has better control of his powers) beats him than takes a fake drug to pretend he's dead while Camille goes with Djmon. Later she opens the letter to kill Djmon as she was tricked/pushed into believing that she was part of division she then orders Djmon to kill himself. Done. End of movie. No sense of finality that the division will be brought down, Dakota's mother is still locked up, Chris and Dakota hide with the briefcase laughing, Melinda, Shadow and Indian guy have unknown whereabouts. Stitcher is presumed tied up. Chinese girl has memory wiped and wiper leaves. Problem with Push is the storyline had too many plot holes or weak/non existent motivations for certain characters. Certain characters are unnecessary and dis-believable. The only concept I liked is that each power is dependent on another. Almost like playing a RPG game where the Knight has certain attributes that compliment or cancel the Sorcerer. Otherwise the movie was unfulfilled.
