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

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

A Dominque Fishback showcase. She's the beating heart of a film that merely coasts on the entertainment value of its high concept.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2020

A film built on the thrill of the now, the hyper-modernity on show in hip-hop trappings, tricks lifted from gaming and yes, the availability of the whole thing at the push of a button in the palm of your hand.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2020

A good, solid action drama. A neat old premise with a diverse and energetic cast.

| Aug 18, 2020

This film is nonsense.

| Aug 18, 2020

An entertaining revenge movie, but the dark and weird material is rendered without enough regard for that potential.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 16, 2020

Unfortunately, despite [a] great idea, this film takes that idea and puts it in the most generic plot ever.

| Original Score: C | Aug 14, 2020

Project Power, chock-full of hectic urban pursuit, bad men with their heads on fire and unlikely friendships between plucky renegades, may be the best 1990s movie released this year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2020

"Project Power" is the kind of action/sci-fi bone-cruncher where the cast is better than the material, the characters are more interesting than the premise, and the dialogue chugs along in the middle.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 14, 2020

The pacing drags through action set-pieces left obscured by messy compositions and limp, over-stylized visual choices. New Orleans, as the film's setting, is wasted while the film's gritty concept fails to deliver the desired intensity.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 14, 2020

The undercooked plot works just well enough to fuel this vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, mashing up old movies in a fast-paced package.

| Aug 14, 2020

This story about untapped human potential rarely taps into its own.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 14, 2020

A street drug that can kill you or give you super powers for five minutes sparks this sci-fi head trip, along with acting MVP Jamie Foxx. Whatever the movie lacks in plausibility, it makes up for in showing us a familiar world spinning off its axis.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2020

Even with the imperfections, Project Power is easy to sit through. Once you sit down to watch it, you will likely remain glued to your seat until that last pill is popped.

| Aug 14, 2020

It's hard to connect to any of this nonsense, because the action scenes are so bland and the story feels so phoned-in.

| Aug 14, 2020

Project Power has considerable style yet a disappointing lack of substance - but an attention-grabbing performance from Dominique Fishback and an intriguing twist on superpowers give it just enough juice.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2020

A mishmash of familiar tropes presented with a lot of panache but not a lot of imagination.

| Original Score: C | Aug 14, 2020

The trouble with trying to push at the boundaries of the superhero genre isn't that we're out of material, it's that imaginations are so limited...

| Aug 14, 2020

It's almost like they were afraid to unleash the power within their own project.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 14, 2020
