Project Power

"It never really makes us truly care for the characters and perhaps, most importantly, fails to deliver us a proper villain."

"The Blackness of Project Power is really just a coat that’s been slipped on but it’s a coat that doesn’t fit so well. At least it wouldn’t, if it wasn’t for the excellent close quarters work by Foxx and Fishback who invest their scenes together with some nice chemistry."

"What makes Project Power entertaining is its canny combination of familiar ingredients in a textured real-world milieu that gives it fresh flavour."

"Basically an overblown sketchbook of a movie with showcase effects."

"It's a lot for one film, and "Project Power" never revs up enough gusto to power through its biggest, best ideas and deliver on their promise."

"This enjoyable picture riffs amiably on the Incredible Hulk, Johnny Storm, Wolverine and even Frozone from The Incredibles..."

"But for all the patently corny bits and some 17 attempts at an ending, Power still somehow makes it easy to suspend your disbelief and your imaginary degree in biochemistry, and just let it ride."

"Sugar highs can be fun."

"As such, and like the most recent attempts at tackling the suffocating dominance of comic-book culture, the film manages to have its superhero cake and eat it too."

"Will you become hopelessly addicted, or recoil and explode into a million fiery shards? The answer, at least with regard to "Project Power," is likely to fall somewhere in between."
