PUSH Film Review - 29/6/09

This film is the sort of film that gets made because no-one was actually thinking. A large expensive budget wasted on a piss-poor sub-standard X-Men rip-off! Even TV show Heroes had better effects than those on show here! The film has jarring visuals but even more annoying is the totally inappropriate soundtrack of clanging and banging that doesn't suit the mood of the film at all. It also seems to lose any sense of it's own logic near the end becoming really incomprehensible and the dire ending is atrocious. Throw in the background of Hong Kong and some duff fight sequences that all take place in restaurants most of the time and a blink and you'll miss him Joel Gretsch (Who all the way through the film I was expecting to crop up again) and this mess let's you down accordingly. Horrible - Just horrible.

I'm not going into the cobblers of a storyline - Make your own mind up. But a previous review I had read prior to watching this film had said "Don't waste two hours of your life!" and boy were they right with that one!
