mind-boggling, supersonic, malady of today's ultra-rich ,childless couples ?

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2006)

so this is what happens, when you have a palacious house to live in, but no servants or any other human beings around, except for some neighbours, who show up only towards the end, after hearing the deafening sounds, and the wreckage, while Jane and hubby ,just had a steamy intercourse, after hurting each other in their extra-ordinary fights ! though the script writer has tried his level best to test the i.q. of a common cine-goer, by the stream of events rolling like Niagara falls, equally collaborated by the director, to stuff action, romance, crime, gun fires, bomb blasts, and whatever you may require on the face of this earth, to boil a pot into a block buster ! so much for the worth , or rather too much of it, for your money, and patience ! i enjoyed some of the moments, when the couple is putting their best foot forward, by giving those kisses on the cheeks, wife cooking dinners, wow, and all those candle lights, and the most expensive decors, filled up wardrobes, and the ambiance ! but doesn't it turn out to be a futile exercise in putting up false fronts, removing and putting on their wedding rings every time ? according to me, this really should have been a take on today's stinkingly rich , affluent, married, American couples, who have no kids, and are bored to such an extent, that they are involved in assaisinations, contractually killing people in cold blood ! and they are so perfect otherwise ! handsome husband, lovely wife ! she looks awfully cruel in that black outfit, finally twisting the neck of that poor victim, after lashing him ! so what does this movie try to do ? is too much action, jarring sounds, lightening speed have succeeded in hitting the spot ? to me, there was that touching moment, when a Lady asks Jane to hold her small baby for a moment, she some what reluctantly obliges, and in that fleeting moment, john glance at her ! this scene clearly indicates, that some how , the director did want to bring out that human aspect in the lives of these kind of childless couples, but the entire plot line, the action-oriented drama, has diffused the soul, or rather the lack pf it ! how do we feel when the movie is over ? at least i heaved a sigh of relief !
