User Reviews

Qwerty, a pleasant drive

Qwerty was one of those movies which I had downloaded myself and watched rather asking someone to download for me. I watched this film just once and it really made me to sit up and write a review on it. I appreciate the makers of the movie and they had done a good job in delivering a subtle romantic thriller. The way the movie unfolds is quite awesome and the actors have performed really well, but the credits for the success of this movie goes to the hero and the heroine (Zoe & Marty). Although Marty is speaking lot of bad words in the film, he is still adorable and he has proved his excellence in acting, a long way to go brother. Now comes Zoe, she has carried the entire movie on her shoulders and has proved her mettle in emoting subtly. The sequences happening during Zoe's father's birthday has been well canned and the screenplay should have a special mention and overall the movie is enjoyable to the youth who are in their mid-twenties. I loved it, after watching the movie, I had a bad feeling of watching them online, these kind of movies should be praised and appreciated by watching them in theaters. I am sorry makers of Qwrety for doing so. To put it in two words, I would say "Thumbs UP" to the team behind Qwerty.
