Push is an action Sci-Fi thriller that was released on February 6, 2009. It is a film starring Dakota Fanning, Chris Evans, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis, and Djimon Nounsou. It was written by David Bourla and directed by Paul McGuigan. Due to its violence, strong and intense language, smoking and teenage drinking scenes it is rated PG-13. Part of what makes this film so unique is the background; it was actually filmed on location in Hong Kong.

Push centers on a group of ordinary, common people, each of whom figure out they have their own special super power. These are the “good guys” that band together in order to attempt and conquer a corrupt, wicked government agency, the American Division. The Division has been controlling a group of soldiers by injecting them with dangerous supplemental enhancement drugs in order to make them stronger, more powerful, and more advanced than anyone else on earth. The Division uses genetic transformers on regular, common citizens to change them into evil psychic warriors. This show features the typical “good guys” versus “bad guys” scenario.

There is a diverse range of psychic powers that both the “good guys” and the “bad guys” are equipped with. Watchers can see specific parts of the future and this knowledge effects the decisions they make, causing the future to change rapidly. Movers can manipulate still objects and are able to use this power in order to strengthen their attack power. Pushers have the capability of instilling memories and thoughts into other people, which gives them the power to make others do whatever they want. The more power the Pusher is equipped with, the more people they can operate at one time. Bleeders, also known as Screechers or Screamers, give off sonic vibrations that can rupture enemy’s blood vessels.

Sniffs can track people and object’s locations, and Shifters can bend light patterns on objects so they look like something that they aren’t. Wipers can erase an enemy’s memory, either briefly or permanently. Shadows block other psychics visions, and the more experience they have the more they care able to block. Lastly, psychic surgeons are able to heal broken down and injured cells.

Although Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans give their regular stellar performances, the supporting cast has been ridiculed for being somewhat weak. Overall, characters were poorly developed and the plot of the story was difficult to follow at times. The movie was overall poorly received by both critics and fans alike. Only 21% of critics gave the film a positive rating.

Push opened in 2,313 different theaters in the sixth spot and grossed $10,079,109 its opening weekend. It passed its budget cost of $38,000,000 by its third month. It was based on a comic book mini-series written by Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman that serves as a prequel for the film.
