Manages To Entertain. â™¦ 60%

Rating: 6/10 (8 April 2014)

It took 15 minutes for the plot to save itself from losing me and while it was at it, it used all its resources which could have been used elsewhere.
The previous sentence you just read is how you will feel like when you watch the movie: bit confusing. Michael Douglas is fantastic as the protagonist and even the plot looks good, at first. The climax was just lowbrow and maybe 2-3 hair raising. That's it.
Following the story of an affluent businessman, it talks about a game his brother asks him to play & finds himself ending up in the wrong places. The journey is entertaining per se. And the audience are in a state of wanting for more. Just then, you are shown the climax & the pieces start falling into puzzle. Yes, it does convery a message or prove a point, but a mild conclusion is just not what I was expecting & it played against the effect it had so wonderfully tailored in my mind. Performances are brilliant and I loved the cast.
While it was a lukewarm story, I liked the direction & music.
BOTTOM LINE: Give it a try.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
