Synopsis: The agency known as Division kidnaps kids with special abilities (fortune telling, telekinesis, ...) in order to increase their potential and build an army. Three of them (Evans, Belle & Fanning) end up together in a scheme that could change the future.
Review: I was expecting a kind of super-power movie for teenagers like I am Number Four but the actors in this one are not that young except for Dakota Fanning who actually plays the best. When I see I gave 2/10 to I am Number Four, I can't give more than 1/10 to Push because it doesn't haven have the nice display of special effects that the other one has.
This kind of movie was common some years ago (see also Jumper, and in a different style Hancock) but this one is really a failure and underuses its plot and actors until the flaccid ending. To be avoided.
Rating: 1 /10
