A Common Man (2013)
7/10
A man purposefully places bombs in Colombo Sri Lanka
29 October 2014
This movie actually is better than it looks. On the downside it has all the hallmarks of a B-movie. The editing is poor, the script is dull and at times laughable, filming is amateurish and the characters are superficial. Even a decent actor like Ben Kingsley cant make his role interesting.

However the movie has a very clear story line that is followed in a consistent logical fashion. A man (Ben Kingsley) places bombs around Colombo Sri Lanka and makes demands not to detonate those. The movie has a surprising end posing a deep political and practical question.

A consistent story line with few pointless disturbances, excellent ending and some deep questions about society included is more than you get in most movies these days.

All in all to me the positive outweighs the negative. If you can live with movie-technical flaws, watch this one!
