Same song, same tune, same beat, same tempo. Just a different setting. A very self absorbed and egoistic director.

Fast. Grippy. Intense. Real. . The story expertly weaves the broken system, the apathetic class divide and the angry ignorant citizens of India. It shows how everyone is out to gain from a hustle. How the ill-informed masses believe anything they receive on WhatsApp, and are eager to vent their anger with little provocation. And the utter unpreparedness of the big city dwellers in a mob crisis.

This truly has to be the last in the series. He's killed the entire audience. Threeeee hours...

Looks like an ultra low budget experimental film shot over a long weekend. But the plot and screenplay don't work to anybody's advantage. The color palette and cinematograpy are okay but they've become a staple nowadays. Also, the three brilliant actors don't bring anything new to the screen. It's just a pure waste of time.

The movie just tries to sequence a set a of events in Bob's formative years. There's no depth to any character. There's no definition to any of Bob's relationships, Pete, Sylvie, Joan, his manager or band. There's no reason to root for any character in the movie. There's nothing one can learn about Bob Dylan from this story. His motivations, inspirations and ambitions are muddled and left to speculation. The actors appear to have put in sincere efforts to portray their characters, but the writing fell terribly short. The fleeting documentary was just too boring. By the end, Bob just leaves an impression that he's a selfish a$$hole who'd do what he likes and doesn't care about his fans or friends.

Absolutely nothing scary. Not a horror flick. It's just a grotesque dark comedy. And since the screenplay lacks 'Substance', they've tried to overcompensate with excessive nudity and skin. It's extremely slow paced. Unconvincing plot. The nudity is not gratifying. The grotesqueness is not scary. The visuals are not striking. There are no memorable dialogues. Not a single funny scene. The only thing worth a mention is Dennis Quaid's portrayal of Harvey (W). But I guess that was too taboo to get an Oscar nomination. Wonder how they managed to get so many nominations. Best picture??? Bah. Maybe it's just Demi's memoir.

It took me several attempts over several weeks commit myself to watch this movie beyond the first few minutes. It's brooding from the first scene. Adrian brody expertly helms the screen and maintains it's pace and mood. There are no wasted characters or wasted moments in the screenplay. It's surprising that it has such a low rating on RT. I guess there are no paid critics here. The storytelling, cinematography and editing is reminiscent of Requiem for a Dream and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's beautiful, depressing, poetic and real. It accurately portrays the bane of poor parenting and the gravity of public schooling for the under privileged in our society, which may eventually seed youth crime.

A very predictable slow burn that's reminiscent of block busters in this theme. It screams Die Hard from scene one. The shabby story shows a conman using Batman technology to smuggle a deadly suitcase. And also reducing all the technology and processes of the TSA to that of a local supermarket. The film is designed to insult your intelligence and test your patience. Designed specifically for the Netflix audience, lazy people who like to watch something new that's also familiar. All the bad Netflix movies somehow manage to have high Rotten ratings. Money can buy a lot of things, friends and ratings.

The ulitmate insult to your intelligence, topped with mind numbing screenplay.

Por semma bore... The story and screenplay is late by about twenty years. Obvious inspirations from the 90's films by Mani Ratnam and GV Menon. Sub par dialogues and dubbing. Poor editing. Poor production and execution.
