The story of James 'Ghost' St. Patrick, a wealthy New York City nightclub owner who caters to the city's elite. He wants to build an empire, turn the club into a Fortune 500 business, but there's just one problem: Ghost is living a double life. His club, Truth, caters to the elite: the famous and infamous boldface names that run the city that never sleeps. As its success grows, so do Ghost’s plans to build an empire. However, Truth hides an ugly reality. It’s a front for Ghost’s criminal underworld; a lucrative drug network, serving only the wealthy and powerful. As Ghost is seduced by the prospect of a legitimate life, everything precious to him becomes unknowingly threatened.
Power is fine but it doesn't live up to its title. It's not a powerful drama because viewers have largely seen all its tricks, plots and character relationships before.
The writing and the acting are not memorable, the visual acumen isn't impressive and we haven't even got to Jackson's turn as an actor (which will need to be more memorable than his baseball skills if Power is going to get noticed).
Power has some pull, but maybe not enough to win a tug of war. Its overall pacing could use a perk-up and its portrayals of minorities might take more heat if 50 Cent wasn't calling the shots.
