I wasn't expecting much from the director duo after "Players." But, since Race was a very good watching.
It starts with fabulous action sequences in great locations and as you try and perceive what it will be all about in the remaining 2 hours, a twist awaits you and the total number of twists we have here is colossal and that is why I gave it 10 stars. It is surely a thriller, I guarantee with too much of style and Bollywood punches.
But, as a cinemaholic, I felt the plot was best, the performances by the cast did up to the mark. Saif is cool, John is beast the lead girls act excllent and did VERY hard to be killers. Anil Kapoor has done me the most with his jokes along with emcee voluptuous Amisha! And it also demands total attention.
Direction is sweet; the screenplay and the story,was up to it.
Race 2 is not a red-lounge-reclining seat movie, but looking at the 2013 releases, it is better than Matru but feebler than Table No. 21.
Bottom Line: Some Race 2 sequences will make you whine and swear, but the rest MAY... I repeat, MAY make you happy. It is a type of movie where different people will have different verdicts. And my verdict is it is a preposterous caper where no only a couple of rich Indians run the town. It is like hue & saturation. You can go for it if you haven't anything to do this three- day weekend! It will entertain you to some extent, but if you are a serious cinema-goer (and critic) and aspire logic, Race 2 cannot be compared with its predecessor or with any action flick for that matter.
Some pivotal plot points have been copied from Nicholas Cage starrer National Treasure & certain Hollywood spy movies.
WATCH OUT FOR: Saif, explosions, ridiculous stunt scenes, numerous plot turns, expected ending, cheesy dialogues and a useless wrestling sequence.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
