Inside Man

The plan was hatched at 6.30 pm yesterday after a looooong Strategy Implementation class. A few quick decisions were made and we finally headed towards Jurong Point. We gulped down a coupla pizzas and rushed straight to the movie.

Once inside, you first go thru the 'initiation ritual'. You got to survive the half hour of trailers and outrageous ads (from butter to bust enhancement) and still maintain your sanity. I was reminded of the cliched hindi movie dialogue "Main tumhe itna tadpaoonga... tum maut ki bheekh maangoge ( I'll torture you so much, you will beg for death)".


The movie started off with "Chayya Chayya" and DV continued from there and gave the background score for the first half with his snoring. How he could sleep through such a fast paced movie is still beyond me. But then, this is DV, he could sleep through an actual hostage situation!

The movie really stays one step ahead of your thinking. Finally, a different story... a breath of fresh air. What I liked most about the movie was the 'zara hat ke (somewhat different)' story line and execution. There was no 'star' as such. Everyone put in a good performance and the movie kept me guessing till the end.

I suggest that you go watch this movie if you haven't 'oredi'.
