Project Power (2020)

Special F/X is quite good especially the scene with the "Human Torch" but thats how far it goes other than that annoying kid and confusing plot. Best watched with the forward button at 4x or dont waste your time on this snoozefest.

Fmovies: This is wasted potential.

The concept, certain special effects could be a foundation of a multi-sequel exciting series.

The movie's direction and editing is absolutely horrible, just horrible. We get 3-minute uninterrupted scenes of a teenager rapping, but a shooting scene so haphazardly edited that you have no idea who the good/bad guys are. Even as picture ended I have very little idea what is going on.

Pros: Concept: People take pill gives them temporary superpowers unknown before you take the pill. Gives the movie a different take on the mutant craze.

Special Effects: Varies, but one special effect with the invisible man is off the charts and almost single-handily gave the movie an extra star.

Cons: Direction: All over the place, bad writing, bad characters, just bad. Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon Leavitt can be excellent actors, but here there is no material to work with.

Editing: Long scenes of nothing, edited scenes of the action you want to see. Too often you just saw bullets fly, and people fall without knowing(or caring) who died.

Writing: You can't have stupid one-liners in the middle of murderous violence. I can't watch Marvel movies for this reason and they are PG-13 and geared toward teenagers and fanboys. Doing it in R is even more stupid and removes any pretense of tension.

I was debating between 4 and 5 stars, but if there was a sequel I would not watch. Four stars it is.

Decent acting, really good CG, meh plot. Don't expect to be blown away or anything, but if you go in just wanting to be entertained with some fun action and cool powers, it delivers.

Project Power fmovies. If you've got a rough life, quit school, sell drugs, dream of becoming a rap star. That's the message.

This could have been an awesome movie, too bad the wrong people influenced the script and directing.

How did Joseph and Jamie get talked in to doing this rediculous movie.

Started off good. Film has style and initially keeps you engaged. But getting half way in, there's too much subplot, too much meaningless waffle - the movie just needs to cut that junk out. Got a little boring around halfway through and a little confusing in places.
