Push{ed}

Push starts Chris Evans as a "pusher", a person with the ability to move objects and people with no more than just a thought and slight movement of hand.  We never get to know how he got his power, only shown his brief background,10 years prior, while on the run from the government with his father.  His father seems to have this power too,so, we are to assume that he got it passed down, but, that's just a guess.  As an adult, his character Nick Gant hasn't fully developed this power.  He runs into Dakota Fanning's character Cassie, who can see the future and then draws it,  and are stuck together in their quest to find a briefcase.  They run into Nick's ex girlfriend Kira,  played by Camilla Belle. The three of them,along with some help from a few others, work together to find this briefcase that contains some drug that could change the future greatly.  Along the way they are followed by an Asian gang which includes a seer, and a couple of screamers, who pretty much, scream and destroy things with their voices.  Also looking for this drug is Henry Carver,played by Djimon Hounsou, and his bodyguard/sidekick.  Henry is part of the government agency that is chasing the heroes in the quest for this drug.  It makes for a good chase, and the action is very good as all participants are fighting for the drug. All in all I found the film quite entertaining, but one thing kind of disturbed me a bit.  The need to have Cassie in a short skirt and having her kind of a sex object was really unnecessary, as she is all of 14 years old, but, her body and  young face make her seem much younger than that.  I found it a bit wrong.  They left an open ending, speculating that if the movie did well it would definitely scream for a sequel, and most of the time I do not like when they do that, as was the case this time.
