Push!

Last night Jordan (sis), Paige (cousin), and I (me) decided to go see a movie. Paige & I tried talking Jordan into seeing Friday the 13th but Jordan wasn't having any of that. So we ended up deciding to watch Push.

Here is the movie description I found online:
The Division, a shadowy government agency, is genetically transforming citizens into an army of psychic warriors--and brutally disposing of those unwilling to participate. Nick Gant, a second-generation telekinetic or "mover," has been in hiding since the Division murdered his father more than a decade earlier. He has found sanctuary in densely populated Hong Kong--the last safe place on earth for fugitive psychics like him--but only if he can keep his gift a secret. Nick is forced out of hiding when Cassie Holmes, a 13-year-old clairvoyant or "watcher," seeks his help in finding Kira, an escaped "pusher" who may hold the key to ending the Division's program. Pushers possess the most dangerous of all psychic powers: the ability to influence others' actions by implanting thoughts in their minds. But Cassie's presence soon attracts the attention of the Division's human bloodhounds, forcing Nick and Cassie to flee for their lives. With the help of a team of rogue psychics, the unlikely duo traverses the seedy underbelly of the city, trying to stay one step ahead of the authorities as they search for Kira. But they find themselves square in the crosshairs of Division Agent Henry Carver, a pusher who will stop at nothing to keep them from achieving their goal.

When the movie first began I was like, "Oh so this is like Heroes the Movie." The answer is yes and no. Yes in the fact that people have powers and an agency is hunting them down ... very Heroes like. No in the fact that this movie was awesome and Heroes stopped being awesome 2 seasons ago.

Chris Evans plays Nick and Dakota Fanning plays Cassie. They both did a great job. Dakota Fanning is a fantastic actress and I really enjoyed watching her in this movie. (And now I can see her playing Jane in New Moon) One of our favorite scenes is when she gets drunk to try and improve her ability.

The only thing that irked me throughout the film was all the crazy wallpaper. It seems like every new place they went the place had outlandish walls. I was like wth? lol

Anyway, you should definitely go see it.. and a sequel is no doubt in the making.
