The movie was poorly received at the box office and by critics, getting a paltry 23% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It made a little over $31 million, not counting overseas and DVD sales, so a sequel is unlikely given that it had an estimated budget of $38 million. There is [http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=62491 a television series] in development being written by [[David Hayter]], but the lack of recent news means it has likely fallen into [[Development Hell]].

Line 36:

** {{spoiler|The entire movie was one gigantic one by Cassie's mother to get the serum into the hands of her daughter. Cassie jokes that her mom must've been planning this since before Cassie was born. Knowing that, she's probably ''right''.}}

** {{spoiler|Nick's letters can be considered this, especially the one of he and Kira at Coney Island at the end. This is justified by them having dated for quite some time, and by having someone who can see the future on their side.}}

Line 92:

** The entire ''movie'' is like this as it's basically a [[Melee a Trois]] between two [[Chessmaster|Chessmasters]] and a [[Manipulative Bastard]].

* [[You Have Failed Me...]] - Carver "pushes" one of his agents to shoot himself for letting Kira escape and killing his partner (Kira's "push"). Carver was willing to let it slide until the agent started claiming that there is no way he can be "pushed" again.
