Critics Consensus

The sci-fi thriller Push is visually flashy but hyperkinetic and convoluted.

jThe script has no deep meaning and the film does just what it was intended to do: take an audience on a fantastical journey with loads of action.

Rated: 3.5/5

Sydney Morning Herald

Push is a chase film dolled up with supernatural powers and chintzy retro design motifs.

Rated: 2.5/5

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

McGuigan's saving grace is a willingness to slow down and savour his own images. At best, a moody inconsequence takes over and confusion feels like part of the plan.

Rated: 3/5

The result is mildly entertaining but occasionally tiresome.

Gone With The Twins

Showcases a remarkable amount of creativity and potential, yet oddly shifts between a state of incompletion and overdevelopment.

Rated: 6/10

Ambitious, but alarmingly confusing thriller set in Hong Kong.

The plot is unique, for sure. However, it lacks great direction.

While the cast deliver solid performances and it has an interesting concept surrounding Superheroes. The plot is too generic and borrows from other mediums that it’s woefully forgettable

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Esse filme é muito bom, pena que não teve continuação, ele não é pra qualquer um, não é um filme pra assistir de forma leviana,tem que focar nos detalhes que os personagens falam ,senão não vai entender direito e vai ficar confuso,por causa do progresso rápido.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Audience Member

Most of the scenes are shockingly bad including the final scene. A couple of the action sequences are insulting to the audience. There was definitely some cool shots but that's about the only positive thing a can say about this film. Whoever was in charge of wardrobe also gets one star.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
