    The Salesman (Iranian)


    The Salesman is a masterfully layered drama.The polished way of storytelling backed by the vivid performances makes this a stunning piece of work.Shaahab Hosseini's finely nuanced performance was a treat to watch,this one film is enough to know his acting prowess.Taraneh Alidoosti is another stupendous performer,the subtle manner through which she conveyed most of the emotions is something to watch out for.Then comes Farid Sajadhosseini who makes a strong impact in a brief role,his performance in the final scenes were simply outstanding.


    Though I haven't seen any of Asghar Farhadi's other works,this cinema is more than enough to stamp him as a top-notch filmmaker.The realistic environment through which he portrays such a powerful theme itself shows his mettle,without a single soundtrack nor any visual gimmicks,he succeeds in making it a gripping cinematic experience.The finale is indeed the best part of this cinema,those scenes were a class apart.In short,Wonderfully Crafted and Beautifully Acted - The Salesman is one gem of a cinema.


    Overall,The Salesman is a Masterpiece !


    9/10

    Watch 'A Seperation' from Asghar Farhadi. For me, it's better than The Salesman.

    Duel

    Out of a car and a truck,Spielberg has crafted a riveting thriller.With just about 90 minutes of running time,the film garners your attention wholesomely proving it to be an edge of the seat experience.The performance of Dennis Weaver is something to watch out for.He skillfully gets into the skin of the character and delivers an astounding performance,the physical and mental exhaustion of the character was clinically brought out by this fantastic actor.


    Spielberg movies are best known for its technical fineness and this one is no exception.Even though it is a 1971 flick,the film boasts of some stunning visuals.Duel was Spielberg's first full length feature film and this was more than enough to showcase his immense craftsmanship,the racy narrative pattern is indeed the biggest strength of this cinema.To sum it up,Duel is a wonderful thriller which has enough nail biting moments to keep you engaged.


    Overall,Duel is a Superb Thriller !


    8/10

    The Invitation

    With a pretty interesting premise on board,The Invitation turns out to be an engaging cinema.This one is basically a leisurely building thriller,it takes its own time to settle and finally ends on a high note.The intense performances helped largely in making the proceedings interesting.Logan Marshall-Green was at his best playing the character of Will with utmost perfection.Tammy Blanchard and Michiel Huisman were another actors to come up with great performances.


    Karyn Kusama being the director was able to pull off a satisfying thriller out of an impressive theme.The mood of the film was set right with those unlighted frames and gentle soundtracks.The shots were mostly confined to a single building,neverthless it was of superior quality.This one has some brilliantly etched out sequences,the best being that terrific ending scene.On the whole,The Invitation is not a great cinema like many of the reviews suggests,but this one is doubtlessly a decent thriller.


    Overall,The Invitation is Worth a Watch !


    7/10

    Triangle

    Brilliantly Constructed and Amazingly Performed,Triangle is yet another addition to the list of those mind twisting cinemas.Right from the very start,the film moves on a brisk pace providing enough moments that will make you think over and over of the events happening.Melissa George did her part with aplomb,it was indeed a complex role,but she pulled it off fabulously.The rest of cast including Liam Hemsworth and Micheal Dorman were good with their performances.

    Though not in the league of Inception and Predestination,Christopher Smith did an impressive job crafting a smart and interesting cinema.The slick presentation comprising of some quality shots and indulging soundtracks made it even more intriguing.Out of the box thinking always results in some creative ideas,Triangle is one such cinema which boasts of a solid theme and equally engaging narrative pattern.

    Overall,Triangle is Superb !

    No Country For Old Men

    No Country For Old Men is doubtlessly a Coen Brothers Masterpiece.A solid theme backed by some astounding performances and a rooted narrative pattern makes this one gem of a cinema.This one has a bunch of talented actors like Tommy Lee Jones,Josh Brolin,Kelly Macdonald and Woody Harrelson,but none of them were able to match up with Javier Bardem who comes up with a spellbinding performance.Without any second thoughts, Antone Chigurh is one of the most ruthless and badass villain to have produced by Hollywood,Bardem brough out his best playing that character with utmost conviction.

    The masterfully nuanced making of Coen Brothers is always a treat to watch.The film is indeed a gut wrenching portrait of a violent theme,but the sublime visuals vulcanised with a calm and restrained manner of storytelling made it much more appealing.The minimal usage of soundtracks was perfect considering the mood and genre of this cinema.To sum it up, No Country For Old Men is a brilliantly crafted crime drama and will definitely find its place among the finest works of Coen Brothers.

    Overall,No Country For Old Men is a Must Watch !

    9/10

    Fargo and now this one - I'm fast becoming a Coen Brothers admirer ❤

    Neighbors

    It has some finely worked out comedies,but the movie as a whole is confined to an average level.The overarching weirdness does spoils the fun to an extent.Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne were supposed to look eccentric,but they went way too overboard with their eccentricity.Zac Effron was doubtlessly the show stealer,he effortlessly pulled off the role with much needed charm.

    Nicholas Stoller has few interesting moments in store for you,but he was not able to make this a completely satisfying comedy.Even though it has some genuinely hilarious moments,many of the comedies looked forced.The loud soundtracks were also not much impressive,indeed the movie is carved on a loud and weird environment.On the whole,If your idea of entertainment is simply some mere comedies,Neigbors could be a passable flick.

    Overall,Neigbors is an Average Comedy !

    5/10

    John Wick : Chapter 2

    "John Wick is a man of focus,commitment and sheer f*****g will,"It's not just a car,Its John Wick's car" - Filled with such fiery dialogues and enthralling action sequences,the sequel to John Wick offers exactly what it promised to be - A solid action thriller.Keanu Reeves once again steps into the shoes of his iconic character and astounds us,the unrivalled swag with which he lights up every sequence is just fabulous.Riccardo Scamarcio did a commendable job playing the antagonist.The rest of the cast were fine.


    Chad Stahelski deserves all the applause for making it a faithful and compelling sequel.This is doubtlessly on par with its predecessor and provides all the excitement making it a gripping cinema.Though the film carries a dark tone,the frames were superb and the action scenes were terrifically shot.The soundtracks were also great and was completely in sync with the proceedings.To sum it up,the second installment of the John Wick series has everything to keep you hooked.

    Overall,John Wick 2 is Superb !

    8/10

    Secret Window

    Depp's adept portrayal of the lead character backed by a pretty engaging finale makes this a fine cinema.The film clearly lacks the fizz to qualify as an intriguing thriller,still this one has its moments for sure.Johnny Depp was great like always,his polished performance is indeed the prime factor which makes the proceedings interesting.John Turturro was good with his performance,while the rest of the cast were adequate.


    David Koepp did an impressive job constructing a watchable cinema out of a predictable plot.He was able to maintain an uncanny atmosphere throughout.Though the twist was quite foreseeable,the ending was on a high note which uplifted the overall quality of movie.The technical aspects were perfectly in sync with the film,the soundtracks were worth mentioning for its quality.On the whole,Secret Window can be watched once for Depp.


    Overall,Secret Window is Watchable !
