Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
Push has a cool, sinewy style, energy to burn.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
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.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Dan Zak
As fantastical as all that sounds, the pleasure of Push comes from its glamorized grit, its no-nonsense pacing and the committed performances of the actors roughhousing in the gray area between heroism and villainy. It's pure popcorn, popped fresh, doused in butter and sprinkled with soy sauce.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Jeannette Catsoulis
Imaginatively filmed by Peter Sova, Push has a dizzying, chaotic energy that pulls you along. Paul McGuigan directs with maximum efficiency and minimum use of computers, creating effects that feel satisfyingly tangible.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
A weightless, style-driven thriller set in a photogenically chaotic Hong Kong.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
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.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: Aaron Hillis
Seems to have been made up as it was being filmed.Read Full Review »
