Project Power (2020) - True Power!

★★☆☆☆

I checked out 'Project Power' because it's got stars like Jamie Foxx, and the theme's about men's super power, and so expectedly it should be an awesome action film that doesn't need me to wrap my head around nonetheless. Turns out it is brainless but not awesome at all except for the last scene that manages to give a little bit of excitement. Yea, just a little bit, that's all!

In 'Project Power', in case you're still curious about it, guys take a magic pill that would allow them to perform some super power that only some other animals have like the power to camouflage, to be bullet-proof, to be able to twist their muscle and joints or to even turn themselves into an intimidating monster with tremendous strength, but for 5 minutes only. There's a risk however, taking such a pill that would either boost you up or blow you up, so good luck! The concept seems pretty okay but the outcome feels like roughly done and immature. The film's rushing in fact so the characters are like paper-thin figures only there to do the action but unfortunately the action itself is all familiar, nothing fresh! This is a 'project' definitely disappointing and wasted to some that might expect a well told, emotional story going on with some thrilling action.

Super hero or super power thing no longer gets my attention! To be honest, I've been quite fed up with stuff like that. The so called super power, I guess, doesn't have to be some spooky, weird, crazy shit like what's mostly going on in 'Project Power'. The reason why it isn't completely a letdown is that it still remembers to remind us at a point of the fact that the true power is not what we have to use but how we use it.
