ReelViews
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. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
Push has a cool, sinewy style, energy to burn. - 75
The A.V. Club
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. - 58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Mostly it's a series of dream-image clues scribbled out by juvenile seer Fanning, followed by super-powered smackdowns between agents and mercenaries with slangy titles like watchers, stitchers and sniffers. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
A weightless, style-driven thriller set in a photogenically chaotic Hong Kong. - 38
Chicago Tribune
Director Paul McGuigan ("Lucky Number Slevin") has never been keen on plot logic, and that might be fine here if he offered anything other than Peter Sova's lush images of Hong Kong. - 38
Boston Globe
At the very least, a movie like this requires coherence to stay afloat. Barring that, it needs a star to distract us. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
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.
