Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
ecopolst This movie actually is better than it looks. On the downside it has all the hallmarks of a B-movie. The editing is poor, the script is dull and at times laughable, filming is amateurish and the characters are superficial. Even a decent actor like Ben Kingsley cant make his role interesting.However the movie has a very clear story line that is followed in a consistent logical fashion. A man (Ben Kingsley) places bombs around Colombo Sri Lanka and makes demands not to detonate those. The movie has a surprising end posing a deep political and practical question. A consistent story line with few pointless disturbances, excellent ending and some deep questions about society included is more than you get in most movies these days.All in all to me the positive outweighs the negative. If you can live with movie-technical flaws, watch this one!
Lorenzo Lamas This movie sucks so bad that my eyes couldn't believe!. I mean, come on!, the whole movie was filled with clichés like the tough guy wearing sunglasses (even in the dark) and fist fights so poorly acted. Sir Kingsley, I hope you are reading this and if so, you owe me one and a half hours of my life...and i want them back!. BTW, the way they speak through the entire movie reminded me of those English dubbed Chinese movies.It's very difficult to understand how a man who played such a profound role like Gandhi can perform such a terrible movie like this one. Overall, worst movie ever...and Mr. Kingsley, i mean it, i want my wasted time back!
funky gibbon I have just become a member of IMDb purely after watching this terrible movie in a attempt to bring the overall rating closer to zero. This was undoubtedly the worst movie I have ever paid to see and feel considerably cheated by the fact that it was even available for hire.I must congratulate the producers for somehow persuading Ben Kingsley to appear in this film and producing a cover that conned me into thinking that it may be somewhat entertaining. I am afraid to say that my trip to the video store is considerably longer since I now check all ratings on IMDb before I decide to hire.I will be satisfied if at least one potential viewer puts this DVD back on the shelf on the strength of this review.
Doubleredrolex Acting is terrible. Script is weak and there is no real story going on except that some bald guy wants some people released from prison or he is going to set off bombs in the city. . Production value is very low budget. Didn't even finish watching the whole thing. How did they ever trick Ben Kingsley into making this movie. I'm surprised that they allowed it to be released. Its a career killer. The acting is more like a high school production or after school special from the 80's. I guess this was an attempt by Sri Lanka film industry to see what they can put on the big screen. Hopefully they give up after this one. I gave it a very generous 3/10.
