what's up everybody it's your boy k back doing another review for movies in a
nutshell today i'll be going over project power
we're gonna end this
this video will contain spoilers mild spoilers at best if you haven't seen it
go fucking watch it and if you don't care keep watching but
for all of you that do spoiler alert project power
the fuck is it what was it about i certainly didn't know before
friday hadn't even heard of it so i saw jamie foxx and my boy joseph
gordon-levitt it's literally the only reason i watched it those two are
fantastic actors and i had a feeling this film might be special the movie
boils down to new orleans being the testing ground for a new drug that gives
people superpowers an ex-special forces father who's on the
warpath trying to find his daughter who also has powers naturally a cop
who's trying to save his city from superpower of villainy and the teenager
dealing the drug power in order to help her mom pay for a diabetes surgery she
needs even though her mom's a veterinarian and should have that kind
of money boy again it's nollens now i could go
into more detail about the movie but that's pretty much
the overall premise of it when i first started watching it i
kind of thought the movie had b level shots like it didn't seem like a movie
the a-list actors like jamie foxx and joseph gordon-levitt and
that teenager can't remember her name she was fantastic too they all did their
part they all played excellently and the movie was dope there were a lot of
scenes in there that i thought they took some
chances and that paid out really well in terms of cinematography now to me the
movie felt like push meets taken with the splash like a
tiny splash of limitless in there that's not a fucking bad thing because
especially with push i enjoyed that movie it's like heroes the movie
season one of heroes was my all-time jam to the point where i was even buying the
graphic novels and comic books for heroes now comparing that to project
power means that i hold it in high esteem it's
like an excellent movie with a bit of a twist
on the super powered genre and shadow governments and shit
honestly the main reason why i watched the movie is because of joseph
gordon-levitt and jamie foxx two top-billed actors
together for the first time that i know of and they didn't disappoint
even though it was kind of weird hearing joseph gordon talked with the nowland's
accent like it irked me it was like seeing daniel
craig and fucking uh knives out with that country accent where he sounded
like foghorn lakehorn it was a little off-putting i also want
to say that dominic fishbach was dope in this movie as well
i'd never heard of her before this but she was a good compliment to
playing off fox she was the not plucky sidekick but like if batman was born in
the hood and hadn't even hoodie robin then you
would get that mashup complemented each other in a
really profound way she went from kidnapped victim to
helpful sidekick saving the day you know the overall theme here is that
i thought it was well acted netflix has been coming out with some hitters i mean
they've had some misses i would put this movie on the same level
that i would put bright and in a similar genre they take uh
everyday situation and add super powers to it and you get to see
the resulting fallout it's a pretty great concept to me and it makes for
real life human emotion that draws you in
netflix knows what they're doing in certain aspects we're not going to talk
about avatar the last airbender right now because they're fucking shit up
but this movie on its own is great and they set it up to where they can
possibly be a sequel from what it seems like without fox's
character but who knows it'll be a few years away if we do get one so there
aren't too many bad parts of this movie at least in my opinion
there are some story lines that never really mesh out like you never really
find out what happens to certain people that were shady and fucked up
and that led shit into other shit and then you know it just it just handles
pans out with a happy ending so it's kind of cliche in that point but it
doesn't really take away from the story you don't really give a fuck so again
netflix is doing a pretty decent job pushing out these movies they're
definitely keeping the lights on field netflix ranch or
outhouse or whatever the fuck they have that they need to keep lights on at and
if you're like me and you want to see a decent movie
check it out because we all have netflix or we all steal netflix from someone i'm
not the only one unless netflix is watching
i totally pay for it so now let's rate this bitch and bring out the ratings bar
you have awesome must watch damn fine movie good
dumb fun watch when you're bored or fucking avoid
at all costs so the nutshell in this nutshell is great acting good
looking cinematography great actors i fucking hate the saints
new orleans is seems kind of weird and run down there
are a lot of amusement parks or ferris wheels and shit or at least there are in
this movie i don't understand what's going on with that maybe somebody can
explain to me but this is a damn fine movie and that's
why we give it 4 out of 5. so what you guys think of
the movie let me know down in the comments below also be sure to like
share and subscribe smack that notification bell so you can
listen to all of us talk about shit that you're interested in hopefully
as always special thanks to neft sniffed or it's nothing

boy k you can find me on instagram at k reptar
figure out how to spell it yourself two words easy to do
and this has been movies in a nutshell i'll see you guys next time
one last thing that i didn't understand about the movie jamie foxx's daughter
gets power is through a semi the symptom called alcoholic
fiddle syndrome but they loaded him up with radiation
they never talk about his fucking mom or the kid's mom and how it was his jizz
radioactive that made him pass it on or like it just doesn't explain it cause
alcohol fetal syndrome seems to be when an
alcoholic has a baby the woman and they drink
a baby becomes an alcoholic because they're fucking constantly drinking but
you can't have alcoholic jizz like is it or am i
is there alcoholic jazz in there you think that's why my boys don't swim
so well
