Movie Reviews + Features
Paul Guignan's sci-fi-ish actioner tracks super-abled psychic folks in Hong Kong who hiding from a shadowy government group known as Division. Among the hunted are a telekinetic dude (Chris Evans), a gal who can see into the future (Dakota Fanning) and a very-much-in-demand young lady (Camilla Belle) who can implant thoughts. You don't need to be psychic to get that much of Push is an incoherent mess. This might be forgivable if the film had some cinematic verve, take-a-wild-ride energy or even decent action sequences, but it's primarily distracting, cheesy rizz-razz and warmed-over thriller clichés. Push is all surface. No character ever expresses how awful it must be to have these abilities -- and to be hunted for them. Fanning is the film's only real star, but her coltish good looks, vivacious personality and Hot Topic wardrobe make her character seem beamed in from another movie, something lighthearted and bubbly for tweeners. [1.5 out of 4 stars]
