In the world of Push (2009), no one is safe — not from the government, not from betrayal, and least of all, not from themselves. This is a universe where special abilities don’t make you a hero — they make you a target. A hunted, broken soul walking the razor’s edge between power and submission.
Nick (Chris Evans) is a Mover — a man who can shift objects with his mind. But his life is anything but lighthearted. Haunted by the memory of his murdered father and chased across Hong Kong by Division, a shadowy agency hungry to control gifted individuals, Nick drifts from one cheap hideout to another. His existence is a cocktail of fear, bitterness, and the silent craving for revenge.
Enter Cassie (Dakota Fanning), a young Watcher with the eerie ability to glimpse the future. Her drawings predict blood, betrayal, and… something darker Nick can’t yet understand. Cassie’s innocence hides a fractured spirit—she’s too young to carry the weight of destiny, yet too fierce to surrender.
And then comes Kira (Camilla Belle).
The girl Nick can’t forget.
The girl Division will never let go.
She’s a Pusher — able to plant thoughts deep inside your mind… desires you never knew you had… cravings you’ll never escape. Kira blurs the line between love and obsession, loyalty and betrayal. When she’s near, Nick’s pulse quickens — not just with lust, but with the fear of being played.
In Push, every touch crackles with electric tension, every glance hides a threat, every kiss could be your downfall.
Because in this brutal world, s.e.x and power are twin blades — sharp, seductive, and always cutting deeper than you expect.
Paul McGuigan’s direction bathes Hong Kong’s alleys and neon-lit streets in a dangerous glow, turning the city into a living character — a maze of secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desires.
The action sequences explode with raw energy, but it’s the human drama beneath — the aching loneliness, the unspoken passions, the fragile alliances — that makes Push linger under your skin.
At its heart, this film whispers a truth darker than any bullet or psychic blast:
“You can’t outrun what’s in your blood.”
In Push, power isn’t just an ability.
It’s a curse.
A craving.
An endless hunger you can never escape.
And sometimes… you don’t want to.
