Good Movie, Had Potential To Be Great !!
23 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I honestly loved the first half, rather two-third of the movie. Its different and complex and doesn't have many unrelated scenes. I mean, I loved how it stayed on the topic rather than straying to cheap story lines like many movies do. Now, the sad part, the sad part is that the movie had such great potential to be great but this one mistake just took 4 stars out of its rating. My point is that throughout the movie the viewer is made to realize that the antidote is the only precious thing in the world and suddenly the lead-lady **spoiler** starts taking it as lightly as it was a normal pack of crisps available everywhere. "Once Bitten Twice Shy" is an idiom based on real life rational humans, thus after the couple faces the brunt of their carelessness and excessive trust once, they both should have been extra extra careful. As opposed to Yelling on the phone about the dozes obtained and their number too. Also after that too, such a delicately packed glass tubes which are extremely hard to get and people are actually killing for it, is kept under the seat or in the trunk or hidden in some bag or something not put on the front seat for display. Also, if one expects the government to make an announcement about the antidote synthesis, one would at least wait until then to shoot a loved one, if one actually is able to. Generally though, I liked the movie, just the ending or say penultimate scenes were unsatisfactory.
