I have come to admire Christian Bale and his performances in recent times because of his versatility and determination as an actor. In The Machinist he lost a staggering 63 pounds to play the role of ‘Trevor Reznik’. His diet consisted of a can of tuna and an apple per day. What was more amazing was that he needed to gain the weight back and go through intense training to play the role of Batman in the new legacy.

With the success of Miami Vice, the TV series created by Anthony Yerkovich in the 80’s, it was likely that a big screen adaptation of the iconic and trendsetting show would be realised. Michael Mann who had been a part of the show since the beginning seemed the likely choice to take on the role of creative inspiration for the film as writer, producer and director. His sophisticated and detailed storytelling, coupled with a unique visual language has made him a highly respected and inventive filmmaker with over 30 years experience in the film industry...

Mission Impossible based on the TV-series of late 80’s has developed into a trilogy with the latest instalment being Mission Impossible 3. The character of Ethan Hunt, part of a covert operations unit carrying out highly sensitive missions, has become iconic with moviegoers alike. All three movies in the series have been fuelled with high-octane performances, action-packed stunts and great twists and turns. And, Mission Impossible 3 is no exception...]]> http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/mission-impossible-3/feed/ 0 Inside Man (2006) – Review http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/inside-man/ http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/inside-man/#comments Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Mehul Spike Lee

As a break from revision, the trip down to my local cinema was not surprising. I’d only seen and heard about the ‘Inside Man’ from trailers and various reviews online. Oh by the way, the trailer doesn’t give away much about the film.

I was interested in what Director Spike Lee would bring to an exhausted genre, like the ‘hostage thriller’, ‘cops and robbers’ type of film. The ensemble cast, of which, included Willem Dafoe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jodie Foster, Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer and Denzel Washington, was a pleasant surprise, and no one can doubt their acting credentials.

The ‘Inside Man’ puts a new twist on this type of film through the character’s and the intelligent script...]]> http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/inside-man/feed/ 0 The Constant Gardener (2005) – Review http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/the-constant-gardener/ http://mehulhirani.com/moviereviews/the-constant-gardener/#comments Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:00:00 +0000 Mehul Fernando Meirelles

Syriana is a sophisticated thriller that demands your complete attention. With a great cast, which includes George Clooney, Matt Damon, Christoper Plummer and Chris Cooper, Syriana is not your conventional thriller. Syriana has several plot lines, with each thread going its own way and somehow all linking back together. Syriana explores themes such as corruption, shady business deals, Intelligence agencies, deception, power, control and terrorism...
