PUSH

An underground movement called "Division" hunts people with special telekinetic and other special powers so they can harness their skills to rule the world.



I've never left a theater before the movie I was watching was completely over. I consider this to be a moral rule as well as a badge of honor. PUSH tested my limits regarding this rule to the point that I was hoping a mad-man walked into the theater with an automatic weapon and started wasting the audience.

Yes, PUSH is that bad. I'm unable to say one redeeming quality of this film. PUSH is a mess from its screenplay, acting, special affects, and direction. I feel I'm dumber for have watched it.

PUSH is directed by Paul McGuigan. As bad as PUSH is McGuigan has had success in the past. in 2004 he directed WICKER PARK which was on my honorable mention list for the best films of that year. In 2006 he directed LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN, another good film.

PUSH gets a "0". However, if McGuigan's past work is any indication of his talent. He has the possibility to rebound nicely.
