Title: Push
Post by: Zone on November 26, 2010, 07:48:08 AM

Have you seen this one?  I saw it when it came out and just caught it again on cable.
 
It's very cyberpunk/shadowrun in feel.

No, no you're thinking of Jump. :P I read the book and they bastardized the hell out of that movie - not the least by gving the lead to that lump of carbon - but that's another thread.

Push stars Chris Evans aka Johnny Storm.
Jeez, why do I give you links to the write up if you don't go look at 'em

Most links are broken- if you post the http://, it double-posts it in the link, and if you don't include it, the link doesn't post correctly, either.

I liked PUSH, and not only is Chris Evans Johnny Storm of the Fantastic 4, but he's also Jensen from 'The Losers,' and Captain America in the new Cap movie.

Not to go off-topic, but the Losers was also an enjoyable Shadowrun-ish movie.

How catch 22 of the board, very shadowrun

I'm liking Evans more and more, I may even give Capt America a try though I never read any.  Hope they let him be as un-pc as he should be - stuck about 1950 I should think

Just did a Losers - Expendables double feature, considering all the hype for the latter, the former kicked its arse.  I mean they are just shoot 'em ups, not going to win any prizes, but given a choice I have to give the nod to The Losers

I just watched PUSH. It was really good but I have to say that I expected more from the ending. I hope there's a sequel or something?

In the Expendables, I will say I enjoyed both Mr Church, and the cameo by the governator, "who just wants to be president."

Made me smile, made the theater audience laugh. :D

Yeah, but Willis and Arnold were otherwise wasted; a walk on for a oneliner *eh*
