Powerful!

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2010)

This is one of those films that I overlooked cause I did not expect much of it from viewing the trailer. But after I saw this, I was moved about the film. This is the best film rivaling the Dark Knight from 2008. The performances and direction are amazing. The score and songs from the newcomer Rahman is excellent. The song, "Jai Ho" is stuck in my head.
This is about some teen from the slums who amazes everybody when he does better than expected on "Who Wants to be A Millionaire." The acting is amazing. I think Dev Patel and Freida Pinto will have great Hollywood careers. Danny Boyle proves again he is a masterful director.
Originally, I thought this movie ripped off the Dark Knight. I thought there was no way this could compete against that. Well, it deserved some of the Oscars it received. I rate this film 10/10.
