Carefully executed movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2011)

Despite the good reviews here I wanted to put off watching this movie for a while as I thought this will be one of those standard movies where they develop a plot just to take it to the last fight which is supposed to make up for everything else the movie may not be. I finally got to watch it and was pleasantly surprised on how well the whole movie was executed from start to end. The movie had many chances to slip into the ordinary but they carefully kept off that road and made a really convincing movie. The lead characters are neatly developed without overdoing any of their individual traits. The fights also had the right balance to it, thereby gelling with the rest of the movie rather than standing out and causing a distraction. 'Balance' is the right word to describe this movie as all the elements are carefully balanced to deliver a good movie. Definitely worth a watch.
