From the cover of the DVD, I thought this was going to be another superhero movie, that and also because Chris Evans was in it. But still, I decided to give the movie a go. And I am quite glad that I did.
"Push" is actually a rather decent thriller and action movie. The movie is driven by a nice story that you get caught up in and you are quickly and easily introduced to the events and thrown right into the midst of the story. That worked out so well.
Initially what really thrilled me was that the movie took place in Hong Kong. That was a trip down memory lane for me, as I used to work and live there for four years. So it was nice to see places that I recognized, and I just love that constant buzz and bustle that there is in Hong Kong.
The ideas for the various powers that people possess was quite nice and interesting. However, I was not too keen on the screamers, with their eyes turning all reptilian and being able to blast things with ultrasonic sound. But in overall, the concept of the powers and how the skills worked was quite well.
"Push" have a good list of actors and actresses, and people do great jobs with their roles. However, I must say that the movie was initially carried by Chris Evans (playing Nick Gant), Dakota Fanning (playing Cassie Holmes) and Xiaolu Li (playing Pop Girl (the Asian Watcher)).
I thoroughly enjoyed "Push" and it was a rather nice surprise of a movie. It even have enough value for a second watching.
