Slumdog - yes indeed!

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2009)

So.. this is the great movie I've known about for almost a year. Sure I've heard about all the hype about it. Read the glowing reviews. So what did I do? After watching many bad movies, I saved this one for a time when I really wanted a winner. My trust is my fellow man at calling a good movie good is blown. Since when does a movie that is completely disjointed become Oscar material? My whole enthusiasm was gone when I saw the cops torturing the kid for winning the game show. What? That's right. The whole movie is built around a kid that wins the millions on a foreign version of "who wants to be a millionaire." Oh come on. The kid while acting the part is so unbelievable - as he wins more and more money.. shows ZERO emotion - no wonder they think he cheated! But the torturing done it for me. WAY over the top unbelievable. Then we get the most bizarre flash backs I've ever seen to try to "explain" why he knew the answers. The movie is a humiliation on the intelligence of mankind. If this movie was a 10 minute you tube clip I might have enjoyed it. Wasting 2 hours of ones life to sit through this - is something i recommend you do not do.
