1. Zero Dark Thirty (2012): Saw it in Padmavati theater. The sound system being good, did not miss anything of this fast paced movie. It is all about the long drawn out investigation to track down Osama Bin Laden and it probably deserved the host of Oscar Nominations. But equally justifiable was the only one Oscar win for sound editing it ended up with! We certainly expected more from Kathryn Bigelow who earlier won 2 Oscars for Direction and Best film (Hurt Locker).
I was certainly disappointed that the whole climactic scene of invasion of Osama's hideout was shown in invisible darkness; I mean, it could have been shot in visible darkness using appropriate photographic techniques. What was the point of it if we couldnt see the most important action of the film?
2. The Interpreter (2010): Cast: Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman. About a UN interpreter of South African origin seeking protection from threat to her life surprising us finally by turning to be an assassin herself--one with whom we relate and resonate because she was trying to kill a visiting African dictator who wiped all her family back home. It was a good sleek thriller.
3. State of Play (2009): Cast: Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren. Riveting. About an investigative reporter (Russell Crowe) discovering his friend-Congressman's complicity in the murder of his mistress. It is also about how big Corporations use Congressmenex to help them earn illegal billions in corrupt deals. Very exciting.
