Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2009)

Slumdog Millionaire (2008) Directed by Danny Boyle is certainly one of his best film's to date, our story begins in the poorest slums of Mumbai Jamal as an orphan, running around with his brother Salim on the streets, scavenging through the rubbish dumps to survive and getting into trouble with the gangs who operate in the city. The chances of a rags-to-Raja story are slim for anyone growing up in an environment where traditionally the only way out is in a box or into a prison cell. That could be the fate of his brother who has adapted to the hard way of living by throwing in his lot with the city's top gangster, but Jamal, working as a lowly tea-boy in a call center, has been given a golden opportunity to escape through an appearance on a popular national television quiz-show. He's only doing it for one reason however - he's hoping it will buy him the freedom of his childhood love, Latika, the third musketeer in their little group of adventurers. it's a great story which is all the more compelling as the unclean and very dangerous environment offer's lot's of various escapades with our young protagonist's Slumdog Millionaire is undoubtedly on of the best film's i've seen so far this year, it look's tipped to take the Oscar's by storm and deservedly so.
