Push
Claudia PuigPush, a supernatural action thriller, is jangly, jarring and violent. But more disconcerting is watching the sweet-faced Dakota Fanning swear, get drunk and pack heat - in both fists, no less. Fanning plays a 13-year-old clairvoyant, part of a special class of paranormals whose origins go back to government experiments from 1945. The plan was to use them as surveillance weapons. But the children of these original human weapons aren't so willing to comply. They live among us, the narration says, and they look like us, but they have special powers like telekinesis and telepathy.

Push
Robert KoehlerPush has no pull. A confused jumble of parts in search of a whole, the film plays like a mix-tape sample of scenes from "Heroes," "Fringe," "Alias" and "The X-Files" as it follows good guys gifted with paranormal powers trying to stave off bad guys with the same powers to create a U.S. super army.

A prologue set 10 years ago delves into the fate of a "mover," young Nick Gant (Chris Evans) -- one of several types of people who were guinea pigs in government experiments to use paranormal skills (seeing the future, controlling thought...
Push
Glenn WhippThe painfully inscrutable paranormal thriller Push introduces us to a host of characters with various gifts -- some can see the future, some can heal, some can plant ideas, some can make change for a dollar. By the time the credits roll, your most fervent wish is to run into a "wiper" (one who can erase memories).
In an opening-credits prologue, we learn that the U.S. government is continuing to perform psychic experiments started by the Nazis in order to create some kind of super-freaky-powerful army -- or something. Like a lot of things in David Bourla's script, it's left unclear, as are the rules of engagement after the philanthropic-minded telepaths begin to battle the evil mind-benders out for world domination.
