...but he could have lived for a month with that money!

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2009)

"Slumdog Millionaire" is riveting, emotionally satisfying, gritty, and overall well-executed film. The music stands out with it's wonderful exotic flavor and captivating background melodies. I can listen to paper plane a hundred times and it was used perfectly in the film. Every good thing that can be said about Slumdog already has been so I'll just say the film did leave me with one very big question at the end?. Who in the hell would just hand over a big Ben Franklin to a blind street singer? I know he felt sorry for his friend and all but seriously. I loved the romance of the film and the love hate relationship of the brothers. The acting was great all around. The editing was frantic but sure and steady. Slumdog is a winner and one of the best from 08! I give in 9 stars. (I would have given it 10 but the way that kid just threw away 100 really gets me!)
