    Watched “How I became a superhero“ today - on Netflix, French film with subtitles. Very enjoyable entry in the street superheroes mould. Reminds me of Project Power with Jamie Foxx, although with a better (nastier) production method for the drugs. m.imdb.com/title/tt1034...

    Started watching the 2020 film PROJECT POWER with Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Dominique Fishback, and I'm really enjoying this.

    If you haven't seen Project Power it's a pretty fun sci-fi action movie about super powers with both Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-levitt.

    Dominique Fishback was the only reason i watched all of PROJECT POWER, which was mid and the kind of movie i normally turn off after 15 minutes. But i stayed interested because of her.

    Project Power, a movie. A kind black mom is being hassled by the man. Out from her shower comes a buff white dude, she never saw before, claims to be her boyfriend. The kind black mom absolutely rolls with it and they both 'improv' a scene to get 'The Man' to go. Good for her. Good movie.

    Project Power (2020)​ Fairly decent cops versus drug dealers movie, where the twist is that the new street drugs gives you super powers for 5 minutes...or kills you horribly. On Netflix.

    Project Power the movie. There was a very realistic and plot-needed reason for Joseph Gordon-Levitt to take off most of his clothes and in terms of meta that is hilarious.

    The movie Project Power. Poor title, struggling plot but AMAZING cinematography. Should have won awards for that. Especially the fight scene by the freezer. I don't want to spoil it but that was the most amazing action sequence of a movie filled with action.

    Project Power movie. An older black lady was surprised by a really weird way to fuck with the cops hassling her. But she absolutely rolled with it. Good on you, lady. Give those cops the business.

    I think the Netflix movie Project Power, starring Joseph Gordon Leavitt & Jamie Foxx, would be a really fun video game. Open world quests, random power power-ups that you have to learn & control on the fly. Definitely set it in New Orleans.

    An interesting premise and some decent acting, but in the same year as The Old Guard and right on the heals of Synchronic, this is just way too similar. Also, on that same note, I'm sick of these same lame "everyday superhero" films. Come up with something new.

    This movie had such promise. It could have spawned a new TV series akin to that of Heroes or the more recent comic book adaptation The Boys. Instead it got trapped in a generic plot with a lot of unrealized potential. The story isn't bad. It's just not particularly unique, especially for a power-based fantasy like this one. A man trying to take the shadow corporation that is distributing the drug called Power and a local cop trying to maintain order in a corrupt neighbourhood. The two…

    Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This is a weird one to categorize as it's a "super power" movie, but not a "super hero" movie. This actually mimics a lot of "Black Lightning" with more of a Marvel's "mutant growth hormone" vibe without feeling ANYTHING like a Marvel movie. Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon Levitt are great and carry the movie well, but I honestly found everyone else in the movie a bit lacking, which is a shame as Dominique Fishback has a lot of potential, but I…

    If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com Project Power is the most recent Netflix project featuring a great cast, but the attention-grabber for me is the screenplay debut for Mattson Tomlin (also co-writing The Batman with Matt Reeves). It's the closest to a superhero movie any viewer is going to get for the following months, but at the same time, it couldn't be more different than the usual flicks from said genre. I barely knew a thing…

    This looks rad and I'm already hype for it and at least one sequel. Also... was that... Casey Neistat? --- RT @tordotcom The upcoming Jamie Foxx superpowered extravaganza looks so good - Netflix has a trailer out for #ProjectPower https://www.tor.com/2020/07/15/jamie-foxx-project-power-netflix-first-trailer-watch/ https://twitter.com/tordotcom/status/1283423923074478080
