A masterpiece by Haggis

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2010)

I am surprised at the negative review on the opening page. This is a masterpiece by Haggis and worth many repeated views. He does a classic job behind the camera and weaves a gripping tale of inter connected stories. The fact that an action which might seem of little consequence can go on to be pivotal for somebody else is the underlying current of this film.It's not about racial discrimination as some reviews might suggest, though that is a sub plot.You shouldn't look for a hidden social message in this film. But if you are looking for an entertaining story that grips and touches you deeply, this is highly recommended. Very seldom one comes across a movie that's edge of the seat stuff without being an action thriller. This movie certainly is.It's brilliantly directed and makes you feel the emotions each character is going through beautifully. You feel for the characters and empathise with them. The twists, turns and surprises are very, very well done. If you happen to read this review, just go for it. And ignore the opening review, it's not accurate.
