Project
Power 2/10
Full of spoilers. Why
was this movie made? I know that sounds weird because movies get made
all the time for no damn reason and are terrible but this one was a
special kinda bad. Project Power is a movie about people who get
super powers after taking a pill. What powers? Some get invisibility.
Some get strong. Some get icy. Some get set on fire. Some get powers
that are perfect for the plot. You know. Powers. This dude shows up
with these pills that come in special packs, glow, and need to be
twisted and swallowed and immediately the powers start. Oh, I forgot
to mention. Sometimes you just blow the fuck up. This girl named
Robin is selling these drugs and rapping badly. Her mother is sick
too and needs some soup. While trying to sell drugs Robin is jumped
and is saved by a cop named Frank. Frank lets the guys go and gives
her a motorcycle. Don't ask me to explain.
Frank
thinks the drugs, called Power, are needed because criminals are
using the shit. This dude who we find out is named Art (I honestly
didn't remember his name being said until way later in the movie)
tracks down a dealer and chases him. The dealer takes a pill that
sets him on fire even though he is already half crispy from using it
before. He takes three more pills and continues the fight eventually
dying. Art is looking for his daughter Tracy. Frank doesn't trust Art
because he thinks he is the source of this drug. But you use it
so...okay. Whatever.
Frank
stops a robbery by taking a pill and he becomes super strong. I
forgot. The pills last exactly five minutes. Frank chases a dude that
can chameleon his ass. Frank's chief says that he can't have his own
cops using drugs but then tells him to go search for Art. Oh, and Art
ends up teaming with Robin and by teaming I mean kidnapping and
threatening to kill her mother. They fight and bicker but then she
trusts him. She also trusts Frank. Frank and Art don't trust each
other. No one trusts the cops. Robin's mother still has not gotten
her soup.
I'm
not gonna keep on talking about this silly ass movie. The special
effects were okay. The story was wack. I wasn't sure how old Robin
was when this started. I thought she was a grown ass woman but then
her mother wakes her at almost 10 in the morning to say she was late
for school. I thought she meant college, but no, this girl is in high
school looking about 30. Frank is every cop in every movie that
doesn't want to follow the rules. Art doesn't have powers even though
this would have been better if he did. He takes a pill later and
turns into the fucking Dark Phoenix. The only reason why this did not
get a 1 or 0 was because CK and I laughed so much during this making
up raps that ending with talking about soup. Like, we laughed a lot.
And sighed. The music was killing me. I found out afterward that the
raps in this were written by an actual rapper which is fine but that
doesn't mean the person reciting it are good. When Art told Robin she
had skills I said “Now all you need to do is dress half naked and
learn the splits and you'll be a star!” No real reason to watch
this. I like the main stars...in other films. Not in this one.
