Genres : Crime | Drama | History
Director : Rachid Bouchareb
Runtime : 138 minutes
Year Released : 2010
MPAA Rating : Rated R for strong violence and some language

Outside the Law is one of the most controversial films because it's self conscious epic theme made this movie look like inaccurate and away from the subject matter. This historical melodrama about Algerian freedom struggle is a superb mixture of politics and family turmoil. This film has faced many different accounts by politicians, the film's plot looses that how the law changed and how things were manipulated.

But this flick is one among those films which has an unmanipulative plot. The film focuses on the time when Algeria was ruled by France during the WWII but the Algerian people wanted independence and after the Germany ordered their surrender the liberation march suddenly explodes into a massacre, killing hundreds of Europeans and thousands of Algerians. 


Outside the Law focuses on the story of three brothers Said (Jamel Debbouze), Messaoud (Roschdy Zem) and Abdelkader (Sami Bouajila) and their struggle as long as they attempt to fight. The movie's feel is very emotional and powerful, certain parts of the story however lacks accuracy but were executed with such perfection that whatever was going on in the film seemed fantastic. Thanks to Director/Writer Rachid Bouchareb who came out with such an unique and fascinating story.

Each of the three brothers were offered equal scope in the movie because all of them had unique and impressive personalities. Overall, Outside the law is an engrossing and an inspiring film with a very powerful and personal way of cinematic execution.

Marvel Entertainment has everything to make it's films survive the standards of conceptual film-making and also knows that secret recipe to make those superhero films fun to everyone. Captain America: The First Avenger is yet another film which will not change your mindset and also have something unique both in the sense of big onscreen action and plenty of WOW moments.

So does the World War 2 setting adds to the uniqueness, definitely yes!! The story is just not set during WW2, it reconnects those times with the modern era. The theme of the film is simple and interesting enough to make you stick to your seat. It's storyline is simple yet classic and does exactly what was asked to do in establishing it's lead character as an iconic superhero.


The film features Steve Rogers(Chris Evans) a mere 98 pound skinny weakling with some strong and patriotic feelings to serve his country during the dark times against the Nazi Germany. Yet another thing that America needs is more strong and super soldiers cause Germany already have one, Johann Schmidt (Hugo Weaving). Despite of his weak and skinny body his spirit is not enough to overcome his body limitations, so he contacts a scientist Dr. Abraham Erskine (Stanley Tucci) who's been working on creating a genetic breed of super soldiers. With his serum he successfully transforms Steve into a genetically enhanced super hero and Steve decides to put that power to good use, for his country as the superhero Captain America.

Captain America: The first Avenger is the type of movie that has many positive assets being the characters, the plot, timing, action and it's amazing tone and feel. With a little comic book tinch in it's storytelling Director Joe Johnston did a commendable job in presenting those movie pieces in an authentic way. Overall, a great feature film with some really nice elements and amazing action sequences. Definitely a must watch.

Censor Rating : (U/A Under Adult Supervision)

When you think of a Bollywood action flick, you expect a fair amount of dramatic rush going down your spine. But unlike other action movies, Singham is indeed a different film because it's main focus is it's action which packs nothing in excess. After the huge success of action films like Dabanng and Wanted, Singham also was aimed at full-blown action fun with some decent and convincing fighting sequences.

The storyline features Bajirao Singham(Ajay Devgan) an honest police cop, a good friend and a dark cloud for the wrong doers. When away from his village, transferred to the city he walks into a face to face battle with the criminal and his empire. Apart from the story Ajay Devgan is a treat to watch because he has forever been a part of action genre for the cop movies like Wanted, Dabanng and his very own Gangaajal.


Also the film did well because of it's great supporting cast and their performances. Regardless of it's  engrossing action, the film lacks humor. Also the idea is not innovative and is kinda old-fashioned. But the plot is interesting enough to grab your attention quickly and pretty early. Ajay Devgan's girlfriend Kaavya Bhosle(Kajal aggarwal) did well on part of her acting but was offered little scope to leave a mark for herself. To be honest the movie offers nothing original but is interestingly crisp and fresh stuff for the movie goers. Overall, an entertaining film for the action lovers and if you want a dose of it then Singham is the one for you.
