The Current War (2017)
Edison vs Westinghouse
From the trailer, I had an impression it would do the justice to the great rivalry between one of the brilliant minds of the 19th century. But actually it is not about Edison and Tesla. It was more about Edison and Westinghouse. Tesla played a small part in this movie as the director realized he can't miss Tesla from the equation. But he tried his best to keep Tesla on the backbenches.
Parts of it was little too hasty and colors were little dull, probably they want to show you the "dark" world more prominently.
Anyway it was a good watch, decent acting - just wished l should not have had too much expectations.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2012)
Excellent but a few technical blunders
A good depiction and upholding of the opposition to two very extremes: religion and capitalism, which use people for own benefits.
The only disappointment is the ignorance of "fundamentals" of Lahore, which was strongly felt through out the film whenever it took us there. The so-called "Lahore University" and the surroundings nowhere matched the reality. The dialogue delivery in Urdu was also sub-standard. I wish they could hire a proper consultant to give them a realistic touch of the place, for which the film was all about.
Besides a few technical blunders; the film, crew, acting and music overall is indeed worthy of appreciation.
The Hunting Party (2007)
A Top Rated Movie
There are few films which narrate a bitter truth in an agreeable way. This is a fantastic combination of a fiction and a real story. The film is bit different from a typical war-type, as it covers only the aftermaths of war/genocide in Bosnia. The story of the three journalists who try to search for a fugitive "the fox", who is a hero for Serbs but a war criminal for the international community.
It excellently sends out the message why there is a failure in knocking down the terrorism in the world. Karadzic and General Mladic are those examples subjected in the film.
The film is also made well technically. The plot is sound and the main characters are matured. In short, I rate the film 8/10.
