Push (2009)
I've never been to Hong Kong, but if it's as colorful and neon-filled as it's shown in movies (which it probably isn't), then I'm not sure I could handle it. Much of this movie gets lost in its own look - swirling color and shimmering air and black eyes. Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning are decent - she's especially good as a creepy young "Watcher" who draws unpleasant glimpses of the future. It gives me hope that she'll make a good Jane in New Moon. The movie's sort of complicated, with hidden notes and erased memories and illusions, but by the end it's clear enough who's a good guy and who's a bad guy. It's a decent sci-fi thriller, but nothing spectacular.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
