Project Power (2020) is a sci-fi action film directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. The movie is set in a near-future New Orleans where a mysterious new pill called “Power” gives users superhuman abilities for five minutes. However, the catch is that the power they receive is unpredictable and can be dangerous, or even deadly.

The film stars:

• Jamie Foxx as Art (aka The Major), a former soldier determined to track down the source of the pill to save his daughter.
• Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Frank, a New Orleans cop who uses the pill to level the playing field with criminals.
• Dominique Fishback as Robin, a young dealer who teams up with Art and Frank.

As the characters chase the truth behind the pill’s creation, they encounter intense action scenes, showcasing various powers like invisibility, super strength, and bulletproof skin.

The film explores themes of power, corruption, and the impact of uncontrolled experimentation on people. It was praised for its fast-paced action and performances, particularly by Foxx and Fishback. However, some critics felt the plot could have been more fully developed. Despite this, Project Power received positive reactions for its entertainment value and unique premise.
