Push

Push was directed by Paul McGuigan, which is a director you have probably never heard. He filmed "Lucky Number Slevin" and "Wicker Park". Both of which are good movies, but never had a real impact at the box office. Well, he did it again. Push, a relatively good movie, barely made a dent in the box office since its release. If McGuigan doesn't crank out a blockbuster soon, he's going to be finished as a Hollywood director.

Like his other films, Push is solid movie but seriously lacks in some areas. The acting is much better than I expected. Chris Evans is a goofball (see Fantastic Four) but his machismo and charm translated well into this movie. Dakota Fanning, who is now a teenager, is still a brilliant actress who should have a long and prosperous career in Hollywood. The downside is the story and directing. Overall, there seems to be too much style and not enough substance. The directing is disjointed and chaotic and the story is choppy and not fully developed. But even with that, there are still cool, super-human abilities on display which help distract you from these faults.
