Critics Consensus

Although it wastes some of the potential of its premise, Project Power is a slick, fun action thriller - and features a star-making turn from Dominique Fishback.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

As it is, this is a bloated movie that starts decently and loses it within 20 minutes...

Rated: 1.5/4

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Project Power's veins may run thick with pure hokum. But it's hard to object to a film this serious about being silly.

Rated: 4/5

A Dominque Fishback showcase. She's the beating heart of a film that merely coasts on the entertainment value of its high concept.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Project Power is a whole mess of forgettable characters and middling action sequences that squanders a potentially interesting premise.

Rated: 2.5/5

MSB Reviews

Some action sequences might deliver what viewers are looking for, but most are packed with an incomprehensible amount of CGI, uncontrollably choppy editing, shaky camera movements, and a lack of imagination regarding the powers shown.

Rated: C+

Like a man gaining superspeed for five minutes, this interesting concept runs out of steam quickly and ultimately Project Power is one drug that doesn’t work.

Rated: 2/5

Who didn't like this movie? Oh look...it's all white dudes. It was great. Fantastic pacing. It exceeded my expectations. Best of all, the characters weren't run of the mill action bullshit stereotypes.

The concept is alright, but the acting is bad and the story gets dull very quickly.

Extreme action justified by a comic-book premise with NO surprises.

CK Movie Reviews

Project Power had an interesting plot, but it failed to execute. This is a drug heist movie disguising itself as a superhero movie, only using the super power pills when it was convenient for the plot.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
