Push

Something like [NBC’s] “Heroes” on the silver screen.

They’ve been among us for years. They are something more than human, something extraordinary. Taken from their homes, hidden, studied, tested and used. Now is the time foretold, when one of their number will bring about their salvation... but first there must be a revolution.

The story here is not especially strong but if this is just the beginning, a story which is a bit weak and slow should be expected. Typical of action genre films, there is an uneven hand in it’s direction. This is a light load for the performers to carry but they do carry it well.
