Players Movie Review 

Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Sonam Kapoor
Director:  Abbas - Mustan


Players is a 2012 Indian heist film directed by Abbas-Mustan. The film is an official remake of the 2003 Hollywood blockbuster, The Italian Job.

In this movie abhishek bachhhan plays as charlie a thief who steals everything cleverly, working under an ex-don who is arrested 10 years back and works from jail, as usual his daughter sonam kapoor is in love with abhishek and she has graduated in computers and is a good hacker, bipasha plays as  abhishek's love interest and aide and the main plot is to steal gold from a russian train which worth around 10000 crores, at the end with some routine twists and turns , the movie ends.

This is a movie where there is no logic, please don't think about it, there are so many logical mistakes and it's better not to use our brain while watching the movie . The director might have thought all are as foolish as he is.The movie is so predictable and the plot is so annoying and by seeing the performance of these actors, one can easily come out of the theater after first few minutes.

Coming to the performances, abhishek must improve a lot even after these many movies, he is still bad at acting and sonam can take voluntary retirement from movies, she is not good at all , bipasha is ok , but neil nitin mukesh did well but was not supported by the movie's worst plot, and comedy by jhonny lever and 3idiots Omi vaidya was a relief. Bobby Deol plays a cameo and was good, and the music is horrible.

I conclude that , those who didn't watched Race, Don 2, Dhoom 2, can go and enjoy, remaining please stay back.

Rating: 1/5

 

 

The Devil Inside Review

 

Cast:  Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quarterman

Director:  William Brent Bell

The Devil Inside is an American supernatural horror film directed and co-written by William Brent Bell, as a documentary-style film about a woman who becomes involved in a series of exorcisms during her quest to determine what happened to her mother, a woman who murdered three people as a result of being possessed by a demon.

 Review

  In October 1989, Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) is arrested for the shocking murder of a nun and two priests but is later found not guilty by reason of insanity. She's shipped off to a mental hospital in Italy, and 20 years later, when her now-adult daughter Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) finds out that the crimes took place while her mother was undergoing an exorcism, she decides to uncover the truth by filming a documentary with her director friend Michael (Ionut Grama).

Isabella flies to Italy (with Michael filming her every movement) and sits in on classes at an "exorcism school," where she meets ordained exorcists Ben (Simon Quarterman) and David (Evan Helmuth). The pair are secretly conducting exorcisms on individuals the church has turned down but whom Ben and David believe do indeed need to be exorcised. They agree to help Isabella with her mother, who's at a nearby hospital, but what they encounter is beyond any demonic possession they've dealt with -- one that might cost them not only their jobs, but also their lives.

Part of what makes the movie so frustrating in its essential flatness is that there is an interesting idea for a film tucked away in all that, something about the intersection of mental illness and possession, the point where faith must pick up what science can no longer explain. But instead of exploring that, there is lots of tedious exposition with an over-reliance on direct-to-camera confessionals as dutiful set-up to a handful of dreadfully handled exorcism scenes. One of the key ad images for the film, an elderly nun whose eyes have no pupils, is seen only in passing and there is a lame attempt to milk a big scare out of a dog barking on the street. Directed by William Brent Bell from a script co-written with Matthew Peterman, "The Devil Inside" plays like a horror film conceived on graph paper.

Overall this is a slow, tedious retread of exorcism movie conventions that ends just as it threatens to become interesting.

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol Review

Cast: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton

Director: Brad Bird

In a season filled with spy movies, it might be more than just a happy coincidence that the two headliners are equally satisfying films and an almost perfect dichotomy of styles. Just a few weeks after the little-heard release of the excellent Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, here is its polar opposite, Ghost Protocol, the fourth Mission: Impossible movie, in which the world of intelligence gathering is reduced (or rather inflated) to strands of dialogue tagged on to the tail end of successively more impressive fist-and-gun fights.

Midway through 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol', Tom Cruise's character, secret agent Ethan Hunt is seen scaling Dubai's 2,700-foot Burj Khalifa with nothing more than a pair of sticky gloves. Anyone suffering from a fear of heights would be advised to shut their eyes during this breathtaking but also vertigo-inducing sequence that's been filmed in IMAX, and is believed to be performed by Cruise himself. As the camera stares down from the 130th floor of the world's tallest building to capture Cruise making his way up unsteadily, more than likely you'll be clinging to your armrest.

The plot plunks a load of action into the middle of a rapid re-escalation of the US-Russia nuclear standoff. Once again, an enemy of the United States is threatening the life of every human being on earth. But there is nowhere the political subplot in which Senators and Ambassadors drink coffee and smoke cigarettes while fretting around large, dark, circular tables. The only hint of a politician is one grave, shadowy man who is promptly shot in the head. This clears the way for more ridiculousness, which is nice.

Shot and edited with remarkable flair, Ghost Protocol is a treat for the senses. Cruise, who's pushing 50 but hasn't lost any of his charm, makes a convincing action hero, exuding warmth, humor and vulnerability to humanize the part. But the film belongs to its captain, director Brad Bird, who recognizes exactly what the franchise needed for a quickstart.

I'm going with four out of five for 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol'.
