What would you wait 2 hours in the queue for? Melancholy acting in a high emoted drama? Documenting soulfully the true events? art house deliverables? Nah...If not Rajinikanth it should be at least Tom Cruise in a knuckle Breaking action, tensed spring high fly stunts, high voltage power pack. You have it all here.
That too - extra large - IMAX scenes. Screen plays the trick when it rises and ebbs magnificently giving not a moment to realize you have your eyes zoomed out, already.
If not Afghanistan, Pakistan, whateversthans.....it is old fashioned Russia - Nuclear bomb - save the world - sow MI5.
Even before the set rolled on the floor, the obvious was Tom, the saviour. But expectations were for the stunt brilliance and the gripping screenplay with a content. While "Ghost" delivers the former trembles in the latter, "the protocol". Movie kicks off with the series of events - the Prison, Russia and Dubai - each shares special credit on adrenaline pumping. Well toned and tight fit Tom is amazing, still. But he neither has a strong villain to fight against nor an interesting, note worthy cause to fight for. Actions drains when the plot moves to India, incidentally though.
After you have your scales set high, the climax should be the cliff. But it just flashes and turns off like an indicator at the Car parking - believe that's where this high voltage finally shuts down. Not to miss, Anil Kapoor fits "the only comedian" role well. Felt if the mission these days are missing John woo's emotion grip which ultimately becomes the mind blog once all the gimmicks simmer. Noteworthy for the IMAX captures. A no brain but a very entertainer.
As you leave what is that flight sequences trickling your mind - chopping the tail, guys roping down from the sky - haunting music with a man dropping a mask.. Yeah, if you miss the teaser scenes of Dark Knight Rises, better get a ticket to where it plays. That's the next thing to wait in the queue for! - Dec 18, 2011
