Scrapper (2021)
7/10
Could have been a Netflix Documentary!
16 December 2021
"The Scrapper" is a movie about a illegal immigration and where some kingpins of Punjab are involved. I will level with you, as I did not know whether this was a story based on real fact or just an invented one, I did some research. And Oh boy was I surprised. This is as real as it can get. The dialogues are well written and the acting is solid, with the focus on the issue of illegal immigration, not on the acting. The setting gives the situation a bit of originality. Unexpectedly the heist itself doesn't get major screen time and to my opinion, that was a decision well taken. This is a textbook movie about crime and poverty, revenge and family, topped up with illegal immigration! The story opened my eyes. The acting, especially towards the end (fighting scenes) was not good at all. But all this does not prevent from you from watching the movie. No excuses, get some cultural education. Try to understand people with a different religion. I am not saying agreeing, just understanding. And the world would be a better place. Bari Kang, thank you for this movie.
