Project Power

I knew this movie was coming and considering the track record of Netflix lately I wasn't expecting much. But I was pleasantly surprised. I expected the intersectional check list to be thick on this one. This was actually not the case. Whilst there were some mentioning of systemic racism, it felt more natural to the movie and was not forced. The story line was a bit bland, the bad guys were a bit superficial but the acting of the main characters was good, the concept of powers in pills was actually a great and unique one and the special effects were good. They could have made better use of this but nonetheless not bad at all. I think this movie was better than many of the previous new films and series of Netflix. Because I thought this movie was a pleasant surprise but the story was a bit bland and superficial I give it an 7.

Nothing really stands out here. Average story, average performance by actors, weak world building, average action scenes. Just average film.

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.

This a typical mass produced movie by netflix. Nothing special, just had to make another movie with a good idea and typical non-artistic execution. I wonder sometimes how they choose their directors. Is it just who is available from college?

They get great actors and just embarres them with what they have to work with. They are mass producing B movies.

Number one in the UK, the number of times I've fallen for that one. Project Power is not going to be a film that will live you for days, you won't want to buy it on blu ray or collect memorabilia. However, if you want almost two hours of pretty well made nonsense, then you may just enjoy this, I'm not a huge lover of this particular genre, so perhaps I'm not the best judge, but I didn't switch it off, or skip through it, so that's a positive.

The story is very much x men territory, with some modern day drug problems thrown into the mix, Jamie Foxx is good value as always.

It is entertaining enough, but has b movie vibes, 6/10.
