A decent action/thriller
An enjoyable action, thriller as a cop dabbles in the murky underworld of Las Vegas to recover drugs to free his son. It's not the most indepth story ever but it has a few twists and turns as people end up not knowing who to trust. The cast is pretty good and it moves along at a quick pace, although it doesn't really standout from many other similar films.

Under powered
A decent Sci-Fi Action film but nothing especially new or different. Any film about super powers automatically makes you think of all the other super hero films, especially X-Men in case. Similar to @Limitless (2011) as well. The action scenes are good for the most part, but much like the pill in the film it starts to run out of steam towards the conclusion. Worth checking out but will feel all too similar.

As I said, it was a double feature day. I'd already got a ticket for later in the evening as there was an Unlimited screening of Sleepless starring Jamie Foxx. Something I learnt is that every Unlimited member in Bristol South seems to know everyone else... loads of people were walking in and being perky and asking after families and whatnot... I may skip the next one! Anyway, the film. It was really good. But word to the wise Jamie, you are not Steven Seagal, stop fighting people in kitchens. And Dermot Mulroney as a baddie? I don't know how I feel about that. It was a great action film though, not one of the best, but I will certainly be watching it again.

Great idea, shame about the execution
Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon Levitt in a film about superpowers, I couldn’t have been more excited. However sadly for Project Power, the film itself doesn’t live up to it’s premise.

The cast in this are great. You can never fault Jamie Foxx or Joseph Gordon Levitt, and you definitely can’t in this. Dominique Fishback puts in a great turn too and even Rodrigo Santoro hams it up the best he can with the material he has to work with. And that’s the problem with this film, the material, plot and execution are not very good and letdown everything else. The idea behind this film, a pill that gives you superpowers is genius, and something we haven’t seen before in the superhero genre. The way they subtly show physical changes in the characters who have taken the pills on multiple occasions is very well done and the general concept and science behind the pills is pretty believable. Even the CGI is pretty well done and the reveal of Jamie Foxx’s character’s powers towards the end of the film is quite a spectacle. It’s just a massive shame that the plot itself is rather plodding and lacklustre and it’d be completely uninteresting if it wasn’t for the action and superpowers.

Overall this was a decent entertaining sci-fi and not a bad watch, it just could’ve been so much better.
