Featured review
Solid Revenge Film
A former criminal marries a beautiful women who has helped him turn his life around only to see her die at the hands of a serial killer. This reignites his dark tendencies and he must take revenge.
I ended up really liking this film. It has a decent amount of thrills, romance and self conflict. It is filmed and acted well. If I had to name an issue with it, it would have to be the music. This may be the way all films that come out of India are made but it seemed that the film was being dragged out for the music. It sorta felt like watching a music video at times. I'm not saying they were bad songs because I speak english, didn't understand the words and therefore I feel it would be unfair to say they were bad.
The film has been loosely based on "I Saw The Devil." (Which, by the way, is an awesome film!) However, it doesn't bring a sense of sadism that is prevalent and overwhelmingly draws you in as what is portrayed in "I Saw The Devil."
So, my takeaway is that it was a good film that was a bit slow due to the music and while it isn't, in my opinion, as good as "I Saw The Devil", it has enough going on to be watched as a stand alone film. I say check it out.
