Review of Ten

Ten (2005)
4/10
Provides decent entertainment but suffers from slickness
6 June 2007
This is a bollywood production trying to make an action packed thriller like they make in Hollywood! Nothing wrong with that! The movie looks great and is very stylish! But soon these camera effects get very tiresome! The action scenes are edited so badly that it is very difficult to enjoy them! Some of the action scenes are choreographed in such a way that they don't make sense at all! Example of this is the scene where they encounter Gulshan Grover! I cannot begin to describe how stupid it looks when they try to kill him! He just is standing there with a bazooka without decent cover and still they have difficulties getting to him! Wasn't Abishek Bachan supposed to be a sniper! One shot in the head and it's over! No, they keep running around endangering themselves and then throw a grenade! Boom! Sure,it looks cool but also ridiculous at the same time! And it's like the director couldn't decide to make a thriller with action or an action movie full of suspense! On both fronts he fails! The plot is completely uninteresting! The twists and turns can be predicted from early on and the movie keeps dragging on into boredom! The movie does have some solid moments of suspense and drama! But simply not enough to reach the level of "24" (where this movie obvious is influenced by)! Too bad that the end result is like this! With more attention to logic and plot this movie could have been great! Now it just provides (barely) decent entertainment!
