Meanwhile, Nick Gant (Chris Evans, Fantastic Four) is a Mover (with telekinetic abilities) who is hiding from Division in Hong Kong and making a pitiful living with his paltry abilities. Cassie (Dakota Fanning), a Watcher (able to see the future) suddenly enters his life right after Division catches up to him and tells him he must help her to locate a briefcase full of millions of dollars. Unfortunately, there little meeting is cut short by the Triad group that Nick owes money to, who also happen to be Bleeders (burst blood vessels with their high-pitched screams). Soon, Nick and Cassie are not only on the run from Division, but also these Bleeders. Cassie knows that her visions are telling her that she and Nick are doomed to die, but that they must locate and help Kira, the Division escapee, who also has previous romantic ties to Nick. Escaping Division won't be easy, however, because Agent Henry Carver (Djimon Hounsou), a man who had earlier murdered Nick's father who was also a Mover, is determined to capture Kira and eliminate Nick and Cassie in the process.
Nick is forced to enlist the assistance of a number of friends to help elude those after them, and soon, he comes to realize that he is involved in a master plot not to steal millions of dollars, but to bring Division down, set in motion by Cassie's mother, a high-level Watcher in Division's capture. Throw together some intriguing fight scenes involving gun-kata and telekinesis, plus some fun scenes where Kira uses her pushing powers, plus a lot of confusion as far as to who is telling the truth, and you've got Push. Sure, it's a bit deeper than that, but if I reveal anything further, it will blow some surprises for those who wish to see the film.
I saw Push in the theaters and I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. There's a lot going on in the movie and I wasn't too keen on the directing style, but I still enjoyed seeing it. Like I said earlier, some of the action scenes are cool, but there's just too much going on in the movie. If you are going to see the movie, then Blu-ray is the way to go, because there are some really vivid scenes and they look superb in high-def. Surround sound also helped a great deal because of all the loud action going on. However, special features only include audio commentary, a few deleted scenes and a featurette on the science behind the story. My advice is to rent this one if you are in the mood for an action flick with a wacky plot, but some cool fight scenes.
