Excellent movie. Worth a watch.

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2009)

Saw this movie a few days ago. Luckily it was good enough to still be fresh in my mind. Actually, the only thing that annoyed me about this movie were the askew camera angles at certain points. They were mainly used during the action sequence at the beginning. I think the quick cuts and music would've built enough tension without the aide of the odd angles, but who knows. The directing was still fantastic. Even more impressive was the music. Most impressive however was the acting. Dev Patel was remarkable. His acting was, well, Oscar worthy. Even the children actors were fantastic. I can't give it a 9 or 10 simply because I didn't feel fully engaged in the the movie until the last 30-40 minutes. Nonetheless, the directing and acting were good enough to captivate me until I got there. Not much more to say about it that hasn't already been said or written. The one thing I'm definitely gonna remember from this movie, Dev Patel. I definitely hope to see more from him in the future.
