Honestly, I was surprised at the quality of this movie. I wasn't surprised, however, at the lack of emotion and chemistry between the actors and the quick-cut action sequences that us Americans are far too used to.
The story, as needlessly complicated as it is and doesn't need to be, is about a bunch of X-Men-like freaks with mind powers that are being hunted down by others like them that are part of a "Division." It's never actually clear as to why they do what they do except that it started with the Nazis in WWII. Where would we be without the good old Nazis to take the fall for everything bad that we do? Anyway, that's pretty much the ridiculous parts of the movie. The setting and some of the little tricks the "pushers" do are pretty cool.
Not really explaining what all the idiotic names are for most of the people chasing after the main characters means is pretty...well...idiotic. The scribes do try to change it up as much as they can to avoid clichés and they do for the most part, but, personally I think this would've been a lot better if it hadn't tried so hard to be an action flick but an intellectual sci-fi thriller.
By the way, I compared this to "Jumper" in my summary because everyone is pretty much saying that this is a rip-off of "Jumper" or just a mere sequel. I assure you that "Push" isn't even in the same ball park as that crap-fest we all know as "Jumper."
