The Covenant

Movie: The Covenant
Language: English
Media Partner: Nil

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

The story and the production values are good. The acting and action blocks are done in good way. The action blocks and sound effects are good. But all these are got spoiled by the predictable screenplay. From the first bomb blasting to the climax air lift, everything is predictable. Except the way they escape, all scenes are very predictable. Another problem is the length of the movie. They could have chopped off atleast 25 minutes of the movie. Lower your expectations, you will like this war drama. Also beware that it reminds me of lot of sequences from "lone survivor"

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

First we need to appreciate the director for choose this subject and stick to the authenticity as close as possible. That too with all new faces. It is so impressive. And it worked and gave lot of awe moments throughout the movie.... Now come to negatives - Please lower your expectations. This is not a great entertainer and war sequences are so repetitive. The story is wafer thin and they tried the magic with the ancient touch. The camera work is great and locations are fine. But that also get repetitive more. Lower your expectation, you might like it.

All Quiet on the Western Front

DialR4Review RATED 7/10

This is not my cup of tea, but definitely on of the gem on war movies. The movie has war frame from beginning to end. They covered the full intense of war and lot of scenes reminds of previous war movies. There is no room for anything else, everything is war in this movie. I was expecting some breathing space...There is big No, even the climax make me sick of war. There is no side stories and backdrop. The war and killings are incredible. The sound effects are awesome. The fatherland and soldiers mentality and dictators ego are captured in brilliant way.

Ponniyin Selvan: Part One

DialR4Review RATED 10/10

Movie is faithful to the book and author. They made the real classic with enough class and mass moments. If you read the book, you can enjoy every hidden things, if not still you can enjoy this epic with its majestic presentation. The songs are choreographed very well and most of the songs over in the first half itself. The placement of the songs are so good and they didnt break the flow. The camera work is so good, whether war scene or horse race, everything is captured so well and each and every frame is so class even with difficult angles. the best example is Karkalan forgiving the Rashtrakoodan scene from his horse. This is real milestone in Tamil cinema, Mani Ratnam did it without any compromise. The Pazhuvettaiyar anger towards Kundavai, Nandini interaction with other characters, Kundavai Vanthiyathevan first love are not shown...They omitted all this because of Movie and its timing. The only disappointment was Poonkulali character intro missing. My biggest worry while watching the movie was, "it is going to end" why why it is ending....they should have added another 30 minutes. The cast and their roles are perfectly fit. The production values and CG work are top notch. Spoilers ahead: They reduced Alvarkkadiyan role and Vanthiyathevan did all his work by own No Manimegalai role and they used her name, thats it No Kudanthai Jothidar and the complete Kundavai-Vanthiyathevan initial intro scenes. Sol Song is not there in first part Poonkulali character intro was so abrupt and not detailed in the movie. Real disappointment.

Lone Survivor

Movie: Lone Survivor
Language: English
Media Partner: Nil
Source: Amazon Prime
DialR4Review RATED 8/10

I really like this survival story very much. Its bit depressing in the middle abut the story is presented in highly engaging manner. Once the hunt started, there is no dull moment. All these things makes this as one of the best war movies with real good motive for the survival. The action blocks and mountain jumping were done superbly. The best part is that the viewer can feel the pain and survival instinct while watching this. When the kid jumps down to the village, the tension starts and carried till the end. Bear the first 20 minutes non-stop conversation, then the real action kick starts with enough emotions.

Very good war action movie to watch in good sound system. The making was too good and this is so disturbing one even after completed the one. The sad end of soldiers and survivors are really disturbing. Some sequences are not realistic and some are so touching. the situation of each character is depicted well. Must watch

Another war-polidical action drama from Us-Iraq conspiracy... I liked three kings much better than this one...
