This calls for a celebration:
1. I saw a movie after 4 months!
2. Watching Neil and John together was a treat ;-)
3. To top that, John was nude. Hehe!
4. And of course, got to see the place New York, just for 150 bucks!
So, yes, lots of reasons to like the movie - The actors, the screenplay and thecinematography.
One shot, I clearly remember - Reflection of the helicopter shownon the bonnet of a car. So, yeah, great ideas!
Talking about the storyline, it revolves around terrorism. But the fact that the suspects are treated so inhumanly was shocking to see, that too, without any evidence. And the vengeance leads to more terrorism, once the suspects are rescued. The script was convincing and so was the acting.
John, especially, should get a special mention here.Besides having a sexy butt, he can really pull off a character well. Katrina has looked as pretty as ever and her stand of - standing by her husband/boyfriendis a HIT! After having seen Johnny Gaddar, Neil has proved himself as a great actorbut there was nothing challenging about his role. There is no doubt that he hada crucial role to play in the film.
Agreed that Irfan Khan is not that great looking but he will still be mentioned because of his tongue-in-cheek advice J That made the film entertaining. And ofcourse, I am assuming we all know how great he is as an actor! There were bits when I was curious to know ifJohn was really guilty of terrorism and the prolonged suspense lead to boredomat one point but then it finally picked up.
The climax was disheartening. We all are used to happy endings and this onedidn’t have one. But we also want reality, don’t we? I can’t think of a climaxotherwise, so I won’t blame the script writer for this.
To sum it up, it is definitely worth a watch. Whether you walk out angry, content or even ridiculing the director, do watch the film to experience the pain. Fortunately, you don’t have to carry it all your life, like them. Though, nothing justifies terrorism! But one thing, well said in the film - All wrong decisions are taken at a wrong time!
