Ugly (2013)
The greatest good surprise for me since a while...

I'll be honest, I have never been courageous enough to Watch a movie from India, Bollywood. The only thinking to Watch one movie from here scared me to death. I won't explain why, you could misunderstand me.

So, I first read the comments in magazines about this one, and made an attempt. At my own risks...

And was amazingly surprised. A truly good surprise, a genuine film noir, real dark, whilst with comedy scenes, such as this one: with some of the guys Under custody explaining to the police officer how to use a cell phone as a camera...It could have been used in the new wave crime flicks from UK and USA, as we see since Quentin Tarantino arrival, two decades ago...

An offbeat way of filming and especially story telling. No hero here, no good vs bad guys scheme. A depressing tale, if you analyse the tale in detail. With a downbeat and totally surprising end.

This director deserves to be watched, although this kind of stuff is not for all audiences. Not for sissies or romantic addicts.
