This is no romance film. It’s a vanity project. The camera spends more time on Adhyayan Suman in Heartless than it did on Hrithik Roshan in Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai — with both films being directed by the actors’ respective fathers. However, the trouble is that even though Adhyayan’s character is made to dominate the film, Addy could just as easily have been a Subtracty and it wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
Heartless is, in fact, without a soul. -
While not a complete waste of time, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit could have used a solid script and some more patient direction before waltzing into a theatre near you. It does its best to sound intelligent by bringing geopolitical battle lines into the picture, it lacks the intensity to be categorised as espionage cinema

Had it been cast better, Carrie could have been a true horror flick, but now it’s just truly horrifying.

…is no legend. It is merely a mash up of 300, Gladiator, Troy and pretty much every other film made about ancient Greece.
Drab and almost despicable, this film has nothing to offer. Honestly, it’s not even worth talking about.

Logic gets suspended here as easily as gravity in space and no one has any motivations for their actions. All’s well that ends well, and at least this one ends. Period.
The only thing that you will be asking yourself after watching Karle Pyaar Karle is maine pyaar kyun kiya?

You can afford to miss this if you aren’t a fan of either of the actors or a fan of boxing. As a long-time Stallone fan, I choose to excuse myself from this wreck because I cannot stand to see a performer I admire so much do something like this. If you must watch it, do it for Alan Arkin, who plays Stallone’s trainer, Lightning. He’s the only one who seems to have put any kind of effort into it.

Yaariyan may be targeted at a young audience but every single teenager who chooses to watch it will be insulting their own intelligence.

If The Wolf of Wall Street were a person, I probably wouldn’t turn around to give them a second look. It is rather shocking and extremely heartbreaking to see this coming from a director I admire so much. It looks good and it sounds good too — The Wolf of Wall Street can really please the senses, it seems. Just remember to forget your humanity for a while.

Don’t bother with 47 Ronin if you’ve already seen the 2:31 minute trailer, the rest of the 116.69 minutes can be ignored.
You wait for something to happen throughout 47 Ronin. The stage is set. You get that creeping feeling of déjà vu. Parts of the film remind you of The Matrix, Constantine and Dungeons and Dragons. You almost think you saw a glimpse of Seven Samurai and The Last Samurai while the frames flash by.

…a lazy attempt at filmmaking. Watch it only if you have insomnia because the comfortable seats, the theatre air conditioning and the film will be enough to lull you to sleep.
