- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe strength of Push is its relentlessness. The movie doesn't pause for anything and, when it provides exposition, it does so without bringing the action to a grinding halt.
- 75Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaPush has a cool, sinewy style, energy to burn.
- 75The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonThe A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonSuperhero fans will likely be into Push just for the cool-factor of watching embattled heroes and villains in tense war of wits, wills, and skills. That broader audience is less likely to come along for the ride.
- 58Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerSeattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerMostly it's a series of dream-image clues scribbled out by juvenile seer Fanning, followed by super-powered smackdowns between agents and mercenaries with slangy titles like watchers, stitchers and sniffers.
- 50Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA weightless, style-driven thriller set in a photogenically chaotic Hong Kong.
- 38Chicago TribuneChicago TribuneDirector Paul McGuigan ("Lucky Number Slevin") has never been keen on plot logic, and that might be fine here if he offered anything other than Peter Sova's lush images of Hong Kong.
- 38Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisAt the very least, a movie like this requires coherence to stay afloat. Barring that, it needs a star to distract us.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenDespite its high-profile cast and a sizable marketing push from distributor Summit Entertainment, audiences won't require any paranormal powers of their own to realize they've seen this one before.
- 30Village VoiceVillage VoiceSeems to have been made up as it was being filmed.
- 25Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezA curiously inert and talky action picture about good-looking mutants on the run from bad (but equally good-looking) ones, Push wastes a decent idea and stylish direction on a script that's much more Ingmar Bergman than Stan Lee.
