Bridge of Spies

A  New York lawyer James Donovan is given the unenviable task of defending Rudolf Abel, a Russian spy against conviction. Becoming the item of ridicule and contempt for representing a traitor, he finds redemption in the mission to rescue a US pilot who was downed when flying a secret recce mission over the Soviet Union by negotiating an exchange with the Russians. With Tom Hanks playing Donovan and the direction by Spielberg, you can expect nothing less than an engrossing account of the events in play! A good watch...

The Walk

Philippe Petit, a French born daredevil makes it his life's ambition to surpass all tight-rope walkers and sees that ambition taking shape in the void between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in NY. Based in the 70s, Petit supported by his 'crew' pull off the coup. Joseph Gordon Levitt does all justice to Petit's character ably supported by the pretty Charlotte Le Bon and the suave Ben Kingsley. Zemeckis's impeccable direction and screenplay leaves you gripping your chair and breathing heavy when Petit descends onto the wire to complete his feat! This one is a Must watch...

Talvar

Found it to be a perfect portrayal of the Aarushi-Hemraj murder case, especially after reading Avirook Sen's Aarushi. A straight cut double homicide that got so botched up that the parents of the kid are rotting in jail while the killers are on the loose; only because the entire establishment, cops, doctors, the coveted CBI and judges included are appallingly corrupt and inefficient that they are wanting of not only professional competence but also psychiatric help! Makes one question this farce of a democracy we r living in. That said and done, a real engrossing watch. 

The Martian

What if you are stuck alone in a place and help is 140 million miles away? This incomprehensible situation is what is faced by astronaut Mark Watney. Surviving on Mars-grown organic potatoes, other rations and pure will to survive he manages to rescue himself in a daring rescue mission hatched by his team. With Matt Damon in the lead role this one is the next big one from Ridley Scott after Gladiator. A compelling entertainer, it is a must watch!

The Maze Runner : Scorch Trials

From WCKD is good to WCKD is bad...Thomas and his team realise that the organisation World in Catastrophe:Killzone experiment Department which saved them from the Maze is the one they have to fight. All said and done, the plot is an amateur version of Resident Evil, which happens to be the mother of all zombie movies. So give it a pass or get a download.
