Project Power is a whole mess of forgettable characters and middling action sequences that squanders a potentially interesting premise.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 19, 2024

Some action sequences might deliver what viewers are looking for, but most are packed with an incomprehensible amount of CGI, uncontrollably choppy editing, shaky camera movements, and a lack of imagination regarding the powers shown.

As it is, this is a bloated movie that starts decently and loses it within 20 minutes...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 23, 2022

Like a man gaining superspeed for five minutes, this interesting concept runs out of steam quickly and ultimately Project Power is one drug that doesn’t work.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2022

Project Power is your basic Hollywood version of a marketing ploy to subscribe to streaming services and sell product placement by taking better film ideas and repackaging them.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 2, 2022

While “Project Power” is far from a deep contemplative think piece, it does place itself in a setting rich with issues to speak on. Inner-city drug use, poverty, corruption, government neglect – its all addressed in some form or another.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

While the CGI is a little shoddy in places, Project Power somehow gets better with every passing minute, leading up to an all-too-quick, but visually masterful, finale.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 10, 2021

Smart and entertaining action-packed sci-fi action that's more than what it seems.

The grand finale is a bit of a letdown, but there's still some fun action beats there.

In a clever inversion of superhero tropes, 'Project Power' reveals the exhilarating fantasy of having superpowers as the gateway to villainy and crime.

With its scattershot direction, overdone editing and unfocused storytelling, Project Power fails to have the impact it could have.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 22, 2021

This summer is unlike previous summers due to a pandemic were missing over the top big-budget films; however, Netflix has done a great job of filling in the gap and keeping us safe.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 20, 2021

Project Power is a cautionary tale about what can happen if power is unchecked, and perhaps an idealization of some people always being willing and able to do the right thing.

| Feb 5, 2021

The premise of a drug that gives you superpowers is absolute dynamite, and although Project Power does have some fun with the idea, it ultimately feels unfocused.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jan 15, 2021

A blockbuster popcorn maker who manages to keep things happening on the screen throughout the footage. [Full review in Spanish]

Project Power's veins may run thick with pure hokum. But it's hard to object to a film this serious about being silly.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 22, 2020

Overall, Netflix's Project Power is really about how the movie is a fun action entertainer that doesn't need to be more than what it is.

Project Power is the type of movie you used to reliably find each summer at the theater: an action film that flashes a little comedy, stars someone you want to spend almost two hours with, and has enough happening to keep audiences...

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 19, 2020

Lively enough to hold interest, but this is something of a ragbag overall.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2020

There are some decent performances buried within the mayhem of this mildly ambitious science-fiction saga that's too convoluted to make much of an impact.
