Rudhraksh Jaiswal (Ovi Mahajan)

Randeep Hooda (Sanju Rav)

David Harbour (Gasper)

Pankaj Tripathi (Ovi Mahajan Snr)

Whenever hype surrounds a movie two things are sure to happen. 1: it lives up to expectations. 2: it doesn't live up to expectations. Extraction is a 2020 Netflix movie starting Chris Hemsworth who plays the role of Tyler Rake.

SPOILERS

The story is based on the decisions of a mercenary (Tyler Rake) who goes on that life changing decision and must decide to break protocols or not. And at his mercy is the abducted son of a drug baron (Ovi) who will experience the negative effects of being a drug barons child.

Now back to that hype. I feel the hype was based on the stunt choreography. I must say that the fight scenes and gunfights were beautifully choreographed. Every action was caught precisely and accurately.

Was impressed with the role given to Ovi. Despite being young, he was well aware of his father's atrocities and never liked them. Coming to Tyler's aid was also impressive. The story, was really nothing new. We've seen likes of it before. There's always that one mission that touches their heart and in which they decide to make a fatal decision.

I loved that CGI's were not used as the movie was shot in varying places: Bangladesh and India. If it had gone on to a box office it might have actually break even.

Oh, you need to watch out for the part where Tyler actually kills someone with his surname.

It was a good watch despite the misplaced hype. A 7/10.

The Gentlemen; Movie Review

CAST Matthew McConaughey (Michael Pearson) Charlie Hunnam (Raymond Smith) Henry Golding (Dry Eye) Hugh Grant ( Fletcher) Michelle Dockery (Rosalind Fletcher) Jeremy Strong (Matthew Berger) Eddie Marson (Big Dave) Colin Farrell (Coach). The words " drug" and " Mafia" have been known to be associated with blood, chain of commands and dirty deals. The world of drugs isn't one to be taken lightly as every action can be interpreted as either weakness or strength. The Gentlemen showed a slightly different approach to the drug world. It wasn't without deaths and orders but it hard a slightly comedic part to it. Spoilers ahead . If you've seen the movie, then you can either agree or disagree with some of the wordings here. But if you haven't, I'll try to lessen the spoilers. If the movie had been 3hours long or even 4hours, I doubt if I would notice. Because I was glued to my screen till the very end. The blend and scenery was q...

The turns in the The Turning

The horror movie genre is one of the most successful genre in the movie industry. Scary endings and suspense filled scenes have carved a niche and are not going anywhere anytime soon. Inconclusive endings are not new to the genre but some endings are indeed too inconclusive.The turning is a 2020 horror movie which held a lot of scare factors but failed to land at a significant point. With little similarities to The Boy 1, a young lady decides to tutor an orphaned little girl at their manor but is met with circumstances she could have never prepared for. The whole story started out quite well -the creaking doors, the shadows, the nightmares and then there was an addition of the creepy behaviour given off by Miles, the brother of Flora. The major flaw in the movie was the absence of a definitive conclusion, too many questions were left unanswered- Is Kate insane? Is Miles truly posses...
