Review of Force (2011) by Niraj V — 03 Oct 2011

A remake of the south india movie Kaakha Kaakha (sounds like a TB patient, I know), this one is a really enjoyable venture.

Very fast paced and keeps you engrossed, with a few twists along the way to ensure you don't get bored.

Its also amazing as to how many product placements you can have, and that too very blatantly, in one movie!!!!

John Abraham, as the protagonist, delivers probably the best performance of his career, and goes a long way to silence a lot of his detractors and non believers. Thanks god, as well, that he has finally realised that the short hair suits him best as opposed to the centre parting floppy hair of the years gone by.

Genelia D'Souza was there purely for looking good, something that she does quite well. Her diction skills need serious work, and this has been her weak point ever since we saw her first in Tujhe Meri Kasam and Masti in 2003/4.

Mohnish Bahl deliver a great performance. His portrayal of the dilemma he's in towards to end of the movie a top class, proving once again that he is one of the most underutilised talents in the industry. Yes, he is a very close friend, but I have to give credit where it is due.

The action sequences are really the aces in this movie. Very believable, none of the hidden wires and 20 somersaults in the air before landing a punch etc. Good old fashioned dhishum-dhishum, and LOTS of it.

One suggestion to any others out there who are looking at making movies like this - leave out the songs. They only mess with the tempo of the movie.

Go watch this one, but be prepared for a lot of violence!!!!!
