Synthesis Weekly Reviews – “Push”

Push
Universal
DVD – RATED PG-13

Watcher, Mover, Pusher; it’s all very complicated. Basically, Push deals with the classic tale of an individual who is burdened by their extraordinary powers. Nick Gant (Chris Evans, Fantastic Four) is a Mover scared to use his powers for fear of getting tracked by Division operatives after he saw them kill his father when he was a young boy. While living his depressing life, Grant is impacted by a Watcher (Dakota Fanning, War of the Worlds) who uses her special power to see that the details of their future need immediate attention. The rest of Push involves an epic chase to get a Pusher (Camilla Belle, 10,000 BC) while being chased by Division super agents led by Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond).
