This is a masterpiece. No doubt. I won't give any spoilers; Just watch it. You won't regret, at all.

I feel glad to write a review on this :) Whiplash is that one movie where the number of characters portrayed is so minimal yet those characters are genuinely so impactful. Its not some ordinary, stereotypical musical drama; its raw, honest and inspirational. I appreciate this movie on various grounds: First, its not a complicated mess. The story line is simple but tense and quick. The plot isn't dragged out in any way and believe me, you won't feel bored even for a second. Second, the Acting. Damn, Simmons didn't just deserve that oscar without any reason. He shines throughout the movie, and I found in him a very powerful character. Next, Miles Teller. There wouldn't have been someone better than him for it. He has not tried to over-do things; he's cool and honest when it comes to his part :). (Fact: He's is a self taught drummer!) In all, this is a must watch movie. It celebrates the themes of passion and the sacrifices one makes to get something concrete. Indeed, the road to glory is not an easy one.

First thing: Many people may not agree with me. I had expected a bit more from this movie and I feel it could have delivered better if it had a more structured story line. You'd think the movie will play with your brain, keep you guessing throughout the entire running time but no. It's not about that at all. Let's talk about the first half. Quite dragged out. Some dialogues were quite ordinary and it just went on like that, the successive scenes being predictable enough. The second half- Not at all disappointing and I loved it's every bit. The last scene was where you'd feel a connection with Alan Turing's story and the struggles he had to go through. The thing that absolutely stood out for me was the ACTING. God, the cast was indeed commendable; the actors did justice to their roles. One will definitely feel an emotional link with Turing's younger character as well as the older self. Cumberbatch and Goode were at their best. I believe the movie stands out more because of its actors than its story line. Of course, the picruresque of the War has been presented with sheer honesty. In all, its a good movie but then, I am doubtful if I'd watch it for a second time.

No doubt, Source Code is a food for the brain. Amazing storyline and every bit of this movie hits right. It's simply futile to compare it with movies like Inception and Shutter Island because it stands on it own and is one of a kind.

Its indeed a masterpiece. Won't say anything more than that. My comments may ruin the very essence of the film. So do not overthink. Please watch it, without any scope for doubts.
