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

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.

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.

Terrible fight scenes, pathetic continuity, Dakota and Chris are good, so is Corey ... But the rest of the cast... No. Not at all. The story itself is ok but the screenplay is a stinker. Effects are cheap and nasty, direction is amateurish to the point that the film is half way to being a parody.

This supernatural superhero is amazing, Special Effects is awesome and acting and action is wonderfully non stop and very good and everyone does a good enough that feel for the good guys and want bad guys to win. For is location is wonderful shot and the minute it starts, is non stop going to the very until end. Give a A+👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

A little nail biting, interesting and edgy. Although I really liked every actor, I found it hard to believe Dakota Fanning (age nineteen (at the time) as a thirteen year old.

I couldn’t even finish watching it. It made no sense. People fighting and killing at every scene was not entertaining. Music was awful and acting not so great. It was very dark and depressing in thought.
