Wait, Dakota Fanning gets raped and then all of a sudden shes’ in a “riveting action-thriller”? [ed. whoa dude, too soon] It’s like, “I’m all growed up, I can put down the tea-cup,” and “burrow my way into the deadly world of psychic espionage!” WTF? Ok, maybe not “punk rock” per se, but she’s already dyed red stripes into her nappy-looking hair? Wasn’t she just in a training bra and playing on a swing last week? What is happening to our children! Man, we lasted about 15 seconds watching this thing until blockhead Chris Evans showed up and guns and bullets started flying. Fanning, a psychic says, “right now the future doesn’t look too bright.” Seriously, with writers like that maybe the film industry is truly fucked. It looks as cardboard-cutout and pedestrian as you might imagine, but you’ll probably be there anyhow on dumping ground season, February 9, 2009.
“Push”: A riveting action-thriller, Push burrows deep into the deadly world of psychic espionage where artificially enhanced paranormal operatives have the ability to move objects with their minds, see the future, create new realities and kill without ever touching their victims. Against this setting, a young man and a teenage girl take on a clandestine agency in a race against time that will determine the future of civilization.
“I don’t care if it sounds like half of X-Men and it looks like two-thirds of Heroes: This new action flick Push is now officially on my radar in a big way. ” – Cinematical, your fave. Ha, ha.
Chris Evans needs to get his shit together and start working with more directors like Danny Boyle.
“When [Danny Boyle] makes a zombie movie, it’s not just a zombie movie, there are moral undertones, there are [sic] social commentary, there is, like, art to be dissected. [‘Sunshine’] isn’t just a sci-fi film, it’s a study in human psychology, moral behavior and moral judgement.” – Fratboy actor Chris Evans was so gung-ho on not being the weakest link in the “Sunshine” cast, months before working on the Danny Boyle film he actually began to read books.

So if these pictures are to be believed, as Dakota Fanning continues to grow up she’s going to look more and more like Amanda Seyfried? Weird. Somebody call up Disney so they can start developing a 3rd iteration of “The Parent Trap”!
“At the end of the day us actors are here to make good movies — that’s what I love about this business. [But] if you don’t have a good director you won’t have a really good movie,” – Chris Evans [mtv]
Obviously that’s the story of this man’s career so far. (Damn, this guy has a horrible filmography: Fantastic Four 1/2, TMNT, Cellular, Street Kings, The Nanny Diaries.)
