User Reviews

Unexpectedly Good and Quite Fresh

With a simple but solid story line, interesting characters , good dialogue and good acting, we have a very decent movie here. The plot is woven so as to move at a healthy pace and this further helps the movie.

In one sense it can be called a back to basics to thriller-drama with the necessary ingredients. And that is why, perhaps, it is quite unconventional for this day and age.

The entire cast acts well. The movie is not pretentious , which is such a huge relief. There are elements of some dark humour, that sit well.

There is violence in the movie, and you may refer to the Parents Guide section of this site for more details.

On the whole it is pretty good . Unexpectedly so.
