Redefinition of a genre

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2009)

There is a quote in this movie which goes like this " The Greatest Trick The Devil Ever Pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" . Well I would like to say that the Greatest Trick the director of this movie pulled was to thrill and shock the audience until the last frame of the movie. You will be shocked by the twists in this movie especially in the later part of the second half. Yes, it is a bit slow in the first half, but the second half more than makes up for it. The basic plot is about 5 thieves or conmen who come together to plan a revenge expedition against the police . All these 5 people are somehow linked to a criminal mastermind called Kaize Soze and how Soze finishes them one after the other but off course with a certain twist in the end is what the movie is all about.
About the acting in this movie, everybody's performance was top notch. But still I would like to mention the performances of Kevin Spacey and Gabriel Bryne which were exceptional. Another movie with flashback style of narration, this movie is surely not to be missed .
Rating : 8.5/10
