On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. The catch: You don’t know what will happen until you take it. While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction.

"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." ... Read full review

"There is enough detail and psychological nuance in Mattson Tomlin’s clever script to make Project Power more intriguing than most of what Marvel and DC have to offer, even if it could barely match their catering budgets." ... Read full review

"Project Power is a hard-R action flick with a neat premise, inventively handled, and a winsome cast to coast us through the creakier bits of the screenplay. More crucially, it’s also got a sense of humor about itself." ... Read full review

"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. Perhaps the (inevitable) sequel can pack more juice." ... Read full review

"You might as well spend a couple hours with this film on in the background, but don’t expect much about it to stick with you—except for the jaw-dropping Henrietta Lacks monologue. You may need to pop a pill to forget that." ... Read full review

Owen Gleiberman | Aug 13, 2020
"Project Power has propulsion, little detonations of visual magic, the resonant setting of a still desperate New Orleans, and a better cast than a movie like this one tends to have. Yet watching it, you may find yourself aware of how patched together the whole thing is." ... Read full review

The story is different and more interesting. However there is some blurry things about the involvement of the army or the government. It's not very well explained. The FX are really good especially with displaying the powers. The acting is solid from the main actors. The secondary are average. The music is decent. I give it 70%. Mainly because I like the performance of the actors, and visually, the movie is different. Expand

The film's full potential is thrown away with a boring cliche story with poorly developed characters.

Halfway through i had to go look up Jamie Foxx's most recent films to see how he could of possibly been talked into making this dumpster fire. This film is jarringly bad. From the nonsensical sub plot of the streetwise hoodrat poet to having hardly any screen time whatsoever with the two main leads interacting... it's a tired, tropey, disjointed fluster cuck. Expand
