Push Reviews
The result is mildly entertaining but occasionally tiresome.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 15, 2023
Showcases a remarkable amount of creativity and potential, yet oddly shifts between a state of incompletion and overdevelopment.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 29, 2020
Ambitious, but alarmingly confusing thriller set in Hong Kong.

jThe script has no deep meaning and the film does just what it was intended to do: take an audience on a fantastical journey with loads of action.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 14, 2010
Push is an empty calorie extravaganza and demands a crooked concentration it doesn't earn to sufficiently piece this mess together.
| Original Score: D- | Jun 2, 2010
Set and filmed on location in bustling Hong Kong, the tight urban street and winding alleyways suit the film perfectly, but this is not enough to save Push from the Oscar season garbage dump.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 15, 2010
Light fixtures are the true stars in "Push," constantly reflecting, twinkling and popping. Its best moments are when guns levitate and fire themselves. When you don't even need actors to hold pistols, it's the ultimate in autopilot filmmaking.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 16, 2009
Push is a chase film dolled up with supernatural powers and chintzy retro design motifs.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 11, 2009
McGuigan's saving grace is a willingness to slow down and savour his own images. At best, a moody inconsequence takes over and confusion feels like part of the plan.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2009
The premise is promising all right, but it's a movie over-stuffed with talk and actors with a glazed look as though they too aren't sure of what they're doing.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 9, 2009
There isn't a single word in the English language that could justly convey the sheer stupidity, and impenetrable complexity, of Push.

The most amazing thing about this by this idiotic sci-fi thriller is that the actors do not crack up when delivering their lines.

Pushing ideas into other people's minds is what this sci-fi fantasy thriller is all about, and Paul McGuigan's film looks great. The cast is good too. But there's a problem. The story doesn't make sense

I was at first intrigued, and then bemused and confused.

This entry in the superhero sweepstakes isn't without charm

A pleasant time-waster with non-abysmal performances and a few interesting concepts.
