"At the very least, a movie like this requires coherence to stay afloat. Barring that, it needs a star to distract us." NEG

"One of those time-mangling thrillers that manages to seem both complicated and superficial." NEU

"Despite its high-profile cast and a sizable marketing push from distributor Summit Entertainment, audiences won't require any paranormal powers of their own to realize they've seen this one before." NEG
United StatesUnited States Chicago Reader "A ragbag of shopworn ideas nicked from Philip K. Dick, this sci-fi thriller never stops finding new ways to make no sense." NEG

"A curiously inert and talky action picture about good-looking mutants on the run from bad (but equally good-looking) ones" NEG

"Superhero fans will likely be into 'Push' just for the cool-factor of watching embattled heroes and villains in tense war of wits, wills, and skills. That broader audience is less likely to come along for the ride."  POS

"Push, a supernatural action thriller, is jangly, jarring and violent. (...) Director Paul McGuigan, whose 'Lucky Number Slevin' was more clever and fun, uses this hyperkinetic approach presumably to enhance this dull story. But he only makes it disorienting. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)." NEG

"The strength of 'Push' is its relentlessness. The movie doesn't pause for anything and, when it provides exposition, it does so without bringing the action to a grinding halt."  POS
