As superhero movies go, this is underwhelming stuff. …Only enjoyable in spurts.

…not so much an engaging film as it is an interesting idea that Varma squanders away with a hackneyed script, and an ensemble of over-actors. We’ve been waiting for a film that gives us a fresh take on crime in the city. Sadly, this is not that film.

The film is ambitious but flawed. It is, however, consistently watchable for its terrific lead star who you can’t take your eyes off, even for a moment.

Handsomely mounted, but ultimately too safe in its reconstruction of deeply complex events, this film runs but never flies. I’m going with two-and-a-half out of five for The Fifth Estate. Watch it for Cumberbatch’s appropriately creepy performance as Assange.

Mickey Virus isn’t unwatchable, but at 2 hours and 15 minutes, it certainly overstays its welcome, offering little by way of laughs or thrills. I’m going with two out of five. Walking out of the cinema, you’ve forgotten it already.

I’m going with two out of five for Escape Plan. Stallone and Schwarznegger deserve better. And so do we.

It’s brutal, edge-of-the-seat filmmaking that you cannot afford to miss.

The film itself is brave and unflinching, and oozes the kind of sincerity that you long for in most Hindi films. I’m going with four out of five for Hansal Mehta’s ‘Shahid’. Well made, and gripping till the very end.

Neither original, nor entertaining, this Boss deserves to be fired!

Don’t miss Fire in the Blood. It tells you how YOU can help save lives.
