Full disclosure: I'm a fan of both Jamie Foxx and JGL. I was very happy to hear that he was ending his hiatus to return for this film.

Netflix has released a couple of good things in recent memory, but they have also churned out some turds. I had great fears when I heard the synopsis to Project Power because I felt that if they didn't do it right that they would stop investing in the genre, or at least limit their investment.

I had read some pretty lackluster reviews before having a chance to see this for myself, and I'm thrilled that I didn't take those as a reason not to watch it myself. There are definitely some flaws in several different elements of the film, but overall I feel that they did a good job with the premise. Besides, nobody else was beating the door down to make something similar (a la White House Down/Olympus Has Fallen).

Definitely worth having a look for yourself. Interesting concept with some scathing undertones.

I wanted to see this in the cinema when it came out in 2019.

I mean, come on, Will Smith returning to his 90s, post Fresh Prince, action hero roots?

I never got round to it, mainly because I never could get anyone else to go with me!

However, it recently popped up on Netflix, so I was finally able to give it a watch.

The verdict? Somewhat generic action thriller, not at all what I was expecting (which was something closer to the likes of Arnie's 'The 6th day'), primarily because of the far more contemporary setting.

It's no secret - it's even of the poster - that Will Smith is being hunted by a younger version of himself, but - watching this - it's obvious where the budget went: ie mainly on those de-ageing bits, with some of the other FX a little bit on the ropey side. That might also be because, I have since learned, that this was filmed for 3d yet I watched it in 2d.

Anyway, enjoyable but forgettable fluff.
