The summer Hollywood blockbuster machine that is Netflix strikes again with another solid looking entry for genre fans in the form of Project Power which boasts an all-star cast including Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This one looks like it’ll scratch the summer season itch for audiences looking for more adrenaline and good thing we have streaming services to get our fix.

A new trailer has just been released and this one looks like it takes the super hero genre and twists it a little bit as normal people risk their lives to take a pill that will literally give them 5 minutes of power! Of course some very bad people are using it for nefarious means and Foxx must break into action as a former soldier with a score to settle and Levitt bringing up the rear as a cop out to stop the evil using the pill.
Official Synopsis: What would you risk for five minutes of pure power?
On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. The catch: You don’t know what will happen until you take it. While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction. But when the pill escalates crime within the city to dangerous levels, a local cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teams with a teenage dealer (Dominique Fishback) and a former soldier fueled by a secret vendetta (Jamie Foxx) to fight power with power and risk taking the pill in order to track down and stop the group responsible for creating it.


I hope this turns out great because the concept is quite interesting.
