After reading and hearing so much
about this movie from some of my close friends – finally I got to see it today
and I must say – what a roller coaster ride this one turns out to be. For the
first 45 minutes it’s a totally breath taking movie – shocking with every scene
so much so that I was making faces with turn of events, didn’t wanted the
character to do what he was doing, as if it was in my hands, thrilling,
sympathizing with him, feeling for him big time yet he remained a hero of sorts
even after whatever bad he does, never predictable. Ryan Gosling as the biker
stuntman struggling to make the ends meet is too good although I feel he is
getting typecast playing same to same role (At least in his last 3 movies that
I saw). How and what he does to support his girl friend and an infant son, is
simply awesome. After “Silver Linings Playbook” I had great expectations from
Bradley Cooper and he proves his worth yet again - superb job and a damn good
role. Even Eva Mendes is apt in this movie and the character she plays suits
her to the T. One bad turn of events changes their life for good and how it
effects them in the longer run is the movie all about. There is no “Undo” in
life. But the only problem I had with the movie is its length, it’s a little
too long for the story / drama, they could have easily chopped out a good half
hour out of it and it would have been a sleep affair nevertheless it works big
time for me. As it keeps traveling from one character to another and after
taking a jump of almost 15 years it engrossed me yet again and what a fundoo
ending it has, totally rocking stuff. If you like thriller cum dramas – I will
call it one of the best of 2013 so far, do not miss this at any cost, I will
definitely rate it a good 3.5/5 with two thumbs up, a must watch for Ryan and
Bradley fans.
