THEY SAY
Push is an exciting action-thriller set in the
modern-day world of psychic espionage.
Nick (Chris Evans) and Cassie (Dakota Fanning) are
among a group of unique individuals who have inherited and developed
specials psychic abilities that originated from human experiments
conducted by the Nazi regime during World War II. They find themselves on
the run from Carver (Djimon Hounsou) and his troops, part of a clandestine
government agency determined to hunt them down to harness their powers for
evil.
Directed by Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin and
Gangster No.1) and written by David Bourla.
WE SAY
It sounds a bit like a mix between
Heroes and
Jumper to be honest, so we’re not too excited.
But Push has something Jumper didn’t have, namely the naturally
talented Chris Evans, better known as the Human Torch in the
Fantastic Four movies.
Evans really, um, shone bright in those movies and he might just end up
being the best thing in Push as well. (Incidentally, is anyone else here
as alarmed as we are by how quickly Dakota Fanning is growing up? Yikes!)
