PUSH

I just saw PUSH the movie this afternoon with a friend of mine..It's a sci-fi thriller starring Chris Evans(Of the Fantastic Four fame), Dakota Fanning and Camilla Belle set in Hong Kong..

A group of young American ex-pats with telekinetic and clairvoyant abilities are hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency. They must utilize their different talents and band together for a final job enabling them to escape the agency forever.

In 1945, Hitler and his Nazis were using experiments on people who were born with special abilities to create an ultra-powerful army. However, the war end put a stop to this. What it didn't stop was other countries finding out and setting up their own branches, or divisions. Watchers, for example, are able to see the future in quick flashes and scenes. Movers can move objects and people with their minds. Pushers, on the other hand, can "push" people into believing that certain things are or aren't true (like hypnosis). Bleeders emit high-pitched sonic screams that make ears bleed, while Stitches can disassemble or reassemble any scar tissue. Sniffs can take any object and get a history of where it's been in relation to its owner, while Wipers can erase any amount of a persons memory. There are also Shifters; people who make objects appear to be something else (like illusionists, only more realistic), and Shadows, people whose ability is basically to block the effectiveness of other clairvoyants (the Sniffers, mainly).

Nick Gant(Chris Evans)is just a regular "LOSER" who has a little bit of movers abilty.He was just a regular street-gambler before he met Cassie (Dakota Fanning), a second-generation watcher.The little girl tells him about a case they need to find that could bring the "DIVISION" down and net them about six million dollars. In the course of the project, they met with Nick's old flame, Kira (Camilla Belle), who apparently was the victim of the Division's experiment, but successfully made an escape and therefore become their fugitive.

The movie has its ups n downs, sometimes dragging, but it has its "adrenaline" moments..Dakota fanning gave a very good performance in the movie while Chris Evans provided his good looks..

For those of you who want some light entertainment, you won't lose much if you see the movie..It's pretty entertaining alhought it's not an A class action movie..

Below is the trailer of the si-fi thriller..
