PRAISE: When you walk into a GNC there are pills on the shelves for almost anything but nothing like whats featured in the film Project Power
The cast including Jamie Foxx ,Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishbackall turn in good performances in this story about family, Louisiana and oh yeah superpowers
Director Henry Joost and writer Mattson Tomlin create a world in which popping a power pill can either be fatal or give you various super powers.
Things are kept on a high pace and the 2 hour run time flies by with some great action sequences and SFX.The film never loses its sense of fun with dramatic moments weaved in.
I was actually shocked by some of the graphic violence which may not be for the faint of heart.
PROBLEMS: Some parts of the movie are been there done that old hat.The movie introduces some cool story threads and ideas but doesn't use them as much as i would have liked.
Once again there is not much to the main villain in the film and something great could have been done with that too.
This is one of those movies that could have definitely worked well as a series IMO but hopefully a sequel is being planned.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½
Nigga be over acting.... That shit annoying
