Push Reviews
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 24, 2011
| Original Score: C | May 6, 2011
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 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
Totally watchable, totally forgettable.

Kinetic and convincing, this uses a limited budget to thrilling effect, giving us a sort of X-Men-meets-Trainspotting twist. We hope a sequel follows this early promise.

In time this would-be thriller comes to rest with a fist fight, a hanging ending and the implicit promise of a sequel. Of all the calamities that Fanning predicts, Push 2 is one she missed.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 20, 2009
Sci-fi hokum to give you a headache.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 20, 2009
"What if nothing we did made any sense. Would that throw them off the scent?" Nick asks. You bet.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 19, 2009
A movie so bland, it might as well have been filmed in Hounslow.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 19, 2009
I thought Hayden Christensen in last year's Jumper would be as bland a mutant as the screen would ever give us, but that was before I saw Chris Evans in Push.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2009
Belle... is blank as a page, and the intended romantic chemistry between her and Evans is never in evidence.

Push has vibrant cinematography and decent acting, but I'm blasted if I know what it's about.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 6, 2009
There are many problems with Push, and most are the usual boring things: unnecessary plot loops; long, dumb musical interludes; a charmless script; and ostentatious action sequences in which the only person excited is the cameraman.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 6, 2009
A silly movie that is partially engrossing and plenty convoluted.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 6, 2009
Evans and 10,000 BC's Belle shuffle through a turgid romantic subplot, and though the two characters are very, very pretty, they've got the chemical spark of a banana.

A grubby cut-price sci-fi thriller.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 6, 2009
Just as it's getting impossible to tell the superpowered humans without a scorecard, along comes Push to muddy the waters.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 6, 2009
By the time the credits roll, your most fervent wish is to run into a 'wiper' (one who can erase memories).
