Quantico (2015)
I was very wrong about the show until I saw 2nd episode
I must say, Quantico is off for a good start. Anyone who is bored on a weekend and searching for a good show without putting a lot of brain into it, can enjoy this show. At first, I though, this show had some plot holes which were answered right in the 2nd episode to my amusement.
The show is about a group of trainees joining at one of the best FBI training centres at 'Quantico'. But it also runs a parallel future time point when a big bomb sets off in Quantico and only the main protagonist(Priyanka Chopra) is alive. So, she must now find out who is behind the blasts as the police have mistook her to be a terrorist. (Most probably Terrorist may be one of the trainees who joined with her).
All the lead actors show commendable talent. Priyanka Chopra proves acting is a piece of cake for her. The suspense is carried out very well in the pilot episode. Many people including me judged the show after 1st episode and thought there were numerous mistakes in the show but hell no, the show picked up pace and cleared all my doubts in the 2nd episode
That being said, you can absolutely enjoy the show and it's suspenseful environment once you hook up with it.
The Transporter Refueled (2015)
When there was Statham , there was glory. Now , its just a misguided missile aimed at audience.
It is just heartbreaking to say I did not like a transporter movie. But still, I did not like this transporter movie, at all !! It is expected from a transporter series to have top notch action sequences with Jason Statham throwing some mind blowing dialogues that would make a fan jump from his/her seat. But this Transporter got neither great action sequences nor good dialogues.
Ed Skrein tries his best to reach that level but fails in experience. His voice is a plus but still cannot deliver a good blow with his dialogue delivery. He also lacks that Badass look Jason used to have.
I was literally expecting the entire time for the movie to pick up pace and satisfy the action thirst that action movie lovers would have, but it stayed that dull movie where Hero would fight for some girl the entire time and kiss her at last. (kissing the Heroine with all bruises on Hero's face is now like a symbol that movie is over).
I don't know if they will make an other part of this but I only hope next one will be better.
Verdict: If you are very bored on the weekend, take a family trip,but try to avoid Transporter Refuelled. This movie is only for Transporter series fans who just don't want to skip a movie in the series.
The Gift (2015)
A mystery/Drama very well taken
The gift is such movie where the viewer might actually think everything is going well in the drama until the turning point is reached. My every conclusion to the movie have failed and it emerged to be completely different. It has got all the elements a mystery fan can ask for. Family centric mystery, some witty comedy and high levels of suspense.
The movie is about a husband and wife who moved to the that street very recently and are visited by an old friend who might be a trouble to them. The story is very slowly unveiled as the visitor becomes more and more visible. I loved the way the story was wrapped up really like a present and only comes to limelight when the gift is opened. There is a message at the end of the movie if you can take that home.
Jason Bateman, Rebecca hall and Joel Edgerton have all literally lived in their roles and are a delight to watch. Each of them did complete justice to their roles carrying the suspense element in their expressions too.
But I am sure this movie will be one of those underrated movies which will not be talked about because the budget discrimination.
Go watch it and you will know how good it really is.
Hereafter (2010)
A movie so subtle, that it would turn you from a bad guy to good.
There are very few movies which will be dead slow but make you wanna never leave you seat till you complete the entire movie. Hereafter is one of them. I was sceptical in watching this masterpiece at first but soon after it started, it took me by surprise.
Hereafter is not your typical mystery/drama flick with jump scares all over it's face but rather a cool breeze kind of Drama/mystery filled with emotions and life itself.
The movie is centered on lives of 3 people.One American psychic who can talk to the dead, a French journalist and a London boy who recently lost his twin. The emotions are carried out with ease by the actors and the direction is heavenly.
It was never boring even though you wont actually find heavy dialogues or stylish walk across the screen by the Hero/Heroine. Not even one fight. Go watch it with your family. Get inspired, take the good, throw the bad, learn some lessons from this good, cool and awesome movie. Special Thumbs up to Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood.
Triangle (2009)
A Mindbender worth every sec you spend on it
Have you ever wanted to watch a movie so thrilling and so filled with mystery that you spend next 5 days thinking about what could have been happened if it happened some other way. This movie has so many possibilities, so many routes it could turn that I am still getting chills while thinking and writing this Review.
The movie is basically about a group of friends who go on a voyage into the sea and are unable to find a way back out of that trip, into their normal lives. Just go watch it. I am telling you , you will thank me for this suggestion.
The mind bending twists it has will keep you thinking even after the movie is over. It is destined to take twists and turns at every corner of the minute. You will be confused, you will be amazed and you will be spellbound at the sheer cinematography of this epic Mystery/Thriller flick. I don't want to spoil the fun. Go watch it immediately.
