(1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 25% Rotten Page   1   2/5 "There isn't a single word in the English language that could justly convey the sheer stupidity, and impenetrable complexity, of Push."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke 3.5/5 "Though ostensibly action sci-fi, McGuigan's film pushes the boundaries of genre, playing out its paranormal parameters like a game of multi-dimensional chess."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel "'Push' suffers from a baffling script, but Dakota Fanning delivers a very watchable performance in this sci-fi thriller."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 2/5 "Even with all its idiosyncratic elements, Push feels like something we've seen before. Unfortunately, said memory is of something far more fascinating and definitely more engaging."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 1/4 "Push is an empty calorie extravaganza and demands a crooked concentration it doesn't earn to sufficiently piece this mess together."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf 5/10 "Too much explanation, of the sort Cassie is inclined to provide, only slows down the nonsense Push is pushing."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "...suffers from an uneven sensibility that essentially holds the viewer at arm's length virtually from start to finish."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair D "This is the kind of film where nothing makes sense, it's one huge plot hole. And if that wasn't negative enough, it's witless, boring, shallow and too talky."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "As a whole, Push feels unfinished, its ultimate destination accounting for nothing more than a shrug. There is a fair amount to like here, and just as much to resent for how much better it could have been."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C "The scenes focused on lukewarm dialogue outnumber the action scenes ten to one, giving the film a listless, low-energy vibe."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B- "Push is supremely elegant, even beautiful; you can get lost in the visuals even as the narrative implodes. If ever there were a triumph of style over substance, this is it."   AMCtv.com   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "A movie I enjoyed watching with a huge smile on my face and will assuredly endure scorn for liking..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. "This entry in the superhero sweepstakes isn't without charm"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce F "An unholy mixture of Heroes and Jumper...'What if nothing we did made any sense?' says the inept hero, apparently reciting the credo of the moviemakers."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "The film is blessed with a frenetic pace that simultaneously accomplishes two things: it keeps the energy level high while obfuscating some of the most obvious logical flaws in the plot's structure."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Sci-fi thriller has more style than story; some iffy stuff."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi 59/100 " Absolutely derivative, but nonetheless of interest."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy "You have to be clairvoyant to follow the particulars of this overly complicated, unconvincing thriller about folks with paranormal abilities."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   John P. McCarthy "Between the unwieldy load of back story and the painfully underdeveloped characters, this infelicitous combination of Jumper, X-Men and TV's Heroes manages to be dull and exhausting at the same time."   Miss FlickChick   Maitland McDonagh "[D]isappointingly generic shoot-'em-up dressed up with a few paranormal frills..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Falls into the clumsy trap of being the presumptive first installment of a franchise."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 2.5/5 "It's the kind of film you wish had no sound - perhaps the studio should have eliminated the dialogue and replaced it cue cards every few minutes like the silent films of old."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro 1.5/4 "A clutter of worn genre elements stitched together with superficial stylistics."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager B- "It does the job it sets out to do: providing engaging entertainment centered around an interesting idea that it respects enough to think through properly."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux C "If you want to see a movie about mutants with superpowers, watch any of the X-Men movies or the "Hellboy" movies or "Wanted," any of those six movies is far superior to this."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "... delivers the requisite spectacle... but skimps on character and story."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "This would be sci-fi action-thriller feels like a failed television pilot... or better yet, a demo version for something that could be much better with a lot more production value and polish."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 5/10 "Long on style, short on substance and logic, it's baffling and frenetic, defeated by its own chaotic cleverness."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 2.5/5 "It's clear to me that Dakota Fanning is the real deal. Too bad Push is a bit of a lark; it's sound and fury, signifying a sequel."   DVDTalk.com   Tyler Foster 2/4 "A kick-ass soundtrack, sexy imagery, and the ghost of a narrative to string it all together."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2/4 "A pleasant time-waster with non-abysmal performances and a few interesting concepts."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 25% Rotten Page   1
