Complicated to the point of viewer exhaustion, Push is a hard-to-follow and often silly work of science fiction about refugees from a secret U.S. government program simply referred to as "the Division." Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans play the children of psychically gifted parents victimized by the Division. (She's a seer, he's got mild telekinetic abilities.) Neither wants to end up forced to cooperate with Djimon Hounsou's determined operator trying to create the ultra-"pusher," i.e., a subject so gifted they can work major miracles with their mind. The odd thing is that the story is set in China, where gang action and general exotica have a way of obscuring the story proper. Things get a little more interesting when the odd pairing of Fanning and Evans is joined by a few other interesting actors (Ming Na, Cliff Curtis, Camille Belle) playing ex-Division types with psychic abilities. For a while, an "X-Men"-like vibe starts to build, but then quickly dissipates in a script practically drunk on upending audience expectations every few minutes. Nearly two hours long, Push wears down one's tolerance pretty quickly, yet manages to leave one feeling as if the story is unfinished by end credits. --Tom Keogh

PUSH by Chris Evans:
I MEANT TO GET PRECIOUS, WHICH I NOW HAVE.
PUSH DIDN'T SAY MUCH TO ME SO I GAVE IT TO ONE OF MY GROWN CHILDREN AND THEY WILL PROBABLY LIKE IT.
SCIENCE FICTION IS NOT MY FAVORITE.
great movie!!!!!:
i was a little if-y on this movie, but it was great!!!!!!and the guy in here is very hot. i actually learned alot from the movie too.
what was the point?:
This movie suffers from a confusing plot. All the characters are in search of a vile that kills paranormals, but you can't figure out what the film is really about. What is everyone doing and why? What keeps the movie going is really just the performances. The actors appear to take the work very seriously, but all I can think of is that the script must've looked great on paper. The movie is interesting, lame, ridiculous, pointless, but engaging all the same, not enough to watch twice. Why is the vile so... more info
WORST MOVIE:
