Slumdog Millionaire

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars
I saw this on January 5 at Coolidge Corner

This was an excellent movie. I loved the story and they used the flow between game show and life very well. A well crafted plot that tugs at your heart strings and some very tense moments.

There was no outstanding performance in my opinion but it was extremely well done and solid all around. The Indian backdrop was excellent and the story arc reminded me of an Indian Scarface.

The end seemed predictable but I think the movie overall gave you reason enough to doubt a happy ending so the suspense was still there.

This should be in high contention for some oscars and get serious mention for best picture.
