The film is Netflix's own production based on a script by a young and popular Hollywood screenwriter, who promises an original idea, but in fact turns out to be a formulaic action movie with a slight touch of social commentary. It may seem to you that this is about the 2017 film Bright, but no, this is about a new streaming service - Project Power with Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
According to the plot of the tape, a new drug, Power, enters the streets of New Orleans, which awakens abilities in a person for 5 minutes. Fox and DELL are trying to find the source of a dangerous product, with the help of the girl Robin, played by Dominique Fishback.
It's not known if it's algorithms or low standards, but Netflix likes to "sell" an interesting idea to the audience, and actually show a movie that everyone has seen many times. It would seem that the unexpected mass spread of supernatural forces is a promising topic. Josh Trunk's "Chronicle" has already made a drama out of it, the series "Scum" has made a comedy out of it, not to mention the "X-Men" who have made a franchise out of it. Project Power was advertised as an action movie on this topic. But, unfortunately, the superhero aspect is almost not revealed in the film itself. Apart from the fight between bulletproof Gordon-Levitt and the invisible man, which was in the trailer, there is only one scene in the film where both characters use superpowers during the fight. In other situations, the superpower can be replaced, for example, with a bazooka, and nothing will change.
The film tries to be deeper than "just an action movie," but it does it too openly and instructively. Therefore, Project Power is primarily an action movie with all the usual components: shootouts, a network of drug dealers, an attempt to follow the chain to the one who controls everything, and, of course, the main characters who are forced to work together. But the film is not interested in repeating "Lethal Weapon", so Fox and Gordon-Levitt almost never appear on the screen together, and they also meet for the first time only in the middle of the tape. The de facto main role is played by Fishback, which is perhaps the most inspiring part of the picture. Her character is a sharp-tongued schoolgirl who dreams of becoming a rapper, but is still working part-time selling the drug Power to raise money for an operation for her mother. Fishback in this role actually keeps the film afloat, not inferior in charisma to his much more famous colleagues. Her shared scenes with Fox and Levitt are the emotional basis of the tape.
