‘Project Power’ review: Superheroes fight the War on Drugs

Angelique Jackson If you think you’ve seen Dominique Fishback before, that’s because you probably have.

Directors of ‘Project Power’ Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman know that, so they decided to use as many practical effects as possible, and I’m always for that.In the above interview, Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Dominique Fishback take us behind the scenes and into their super-powered world.

Project Power is Netflix's newest big, dumb, seemingly algorithmically-generated action movie. It's about a drug that gives people superpowers for five minutes at a time that's sweeping the streets of New Orleans and causing a lot of problems.

Dominique Fishback was flying from her home in New York City to Los Angeles for a chemistry test with Jamie Foxx when she lost her wallet. Having appeared in and HBO's, the 29-year-old was up for perhaps her largest part yet — a leading role in Netflix's summer blockbuster — and wasn't going to let the mishap distract her from this opportunity.

When Netflix began promoting its latest entry in the summer-that-never-was blockbuster stakes, Project Power, it was hard to suppress an eye-roll of weary puzzlement at the fanboys eager to slam it as lame and derivative.
