Push

Push (2009) is Paul McGuigan's sci-fi action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Nick Gant (Chris Evans) hides out in Hong Kong after a covert agency murders his father and hunts down people born with psychic gifts.

Everyone here has a power. Some move objects with a glance, some read minds, some catch flashes of what's coming. Nick pulls together a ragtag crew of fugitives like himself. Then thirteen-year-old Cassie (Dakota Fanning) finds him — she sketches the future in marker pen and is rarely wrong. They're after a missing woman (Camille Belle) and a stolen case of an experimental drug that Division wants back at any cost. Djimon Hounsou plays an agent who can plant a command in your head with a word.

McGuigan stages the chase across neon night markets and cramped Hong Kong streets, where every move is a guess about whose vision of the next minute holds up. The film landed just before the superhero boom and earns its keep on raw, street-level energy instead of spectacle. Stream Push (2009) online on iFILM.
