Great movie even though i had seen the Hindi remake (zinda) i thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2006)

I admit after seeing the Hindi remake of this film (Zinda) i went into this movie expecting the world, shockingly so this movie actually lived up to almost all its expectations.
I thought that the concepts in the Hindi movie were hard hitting but these movie is gut wrenching, squirming, mind bending etc etc all in one.
I always suspected the end but when it actually happened, i was shocked and still stomach churned. It makes Hollywood revenge flicks look like children's play games.
The acting, music and film-work was top notch. The movie really is a cinematic masterpiece and the only reason why is not rated higher by me is because i still prefer the masala (spice) variety of films and i definitely had hoped for a lot more stylish hard hitting action from this film.
Also i would have liked the confrontation in the end between the 2 protagonists to have been different but the way it is also adds to the beauty of this film.
All in all a great film, but i could have done with a little more action. Please watch this movie.
