Challengers (2024)
8/10
New balls please
26 April 2024
Tennis was the metaphor that laid the track for this triangle of romance

It had the hallmarks of the classic Sense & sensibility by Jane Austin .

Conpliments to the director & in particular the camerawork during the tennis games showing both point of view for both the players , audience and ball

It was a film about friendship, about lust , love and honesty and most importantly trust or lack of , coupled with ambition

The music score was high adrenaline and added to the suspense and tension

Don't go expecting to watch a simple tennis & a love story , this was layered more like a thriller with classic mr nice guy and devilishly handsome bad guy looking like a young Richard Gere with the same cad like charm . The casting was spot on

What was also really good was the costume & make up - the characters spanned nearly 20 years with same actors realistically aging in front of your eyes as the plot timeshifted through the years

More like this please Hollywood

Pad. A 8/10.
