Here is the “Film Review” of this new story in Urdu language for ARY readers. Hope, you will like our effort.
Story – Screenplay
The story of this film revolves around an honest police officer, who is a symbol of fear for criminals. Set against the backdrop of the city of London, a serial killer conspires to continue his crime spree freely and fearlessly, imprisoning a police officer, then goes on a blood spree. How the officer, played by Idris Elba, not only foils the plot, but ends up killing the criminal by playing with his own life, is brilliantly presented in this story. has been done
The story of this film is written by the well-known British novelist and screenplay writer “Neil Cross”, who was also the writer of the drama series based on this story. The story has been moved forward with a lot of pace and that is why the climax will surprise the audience. Everyone’s work is excellent and satisfactory in terms of the duration of filming the story, the dialogues of the characters and all other aspects.
Filmmaking and directing
The film is directed by Jamie Penn, who has similar action films and dramas to his credit that show the clash between the world of crime and law enforcement.
Making the said film was much more difficult than the drama as it had to encapsulate such a sprawling story, which the director did successfully. One of the reasons for this is the mental harmony between the writer and the filmmaker, which made this difficulty possible. One of the five main filmmakers of this film is Idris Elba himself, who chose this film to test his skills as an actor as well as a filmmaker, as he wanted to make a film based on this story. And there was also a desire to play the lead role in it.
If you look at the negative side of this movie, in our view, first of all, it will be about the English language, the audience who knows the difference between British and American English, they can feel the linguistic mistakes that the background of the movie is in the European country of Great Britain. The city of London and then many other European countries are also shown in the story of the film, so instead of European accents and especially British English, American accents and English are used, which is for the film as a whole. This technical error is entirely on the part of the filmmakers, they should take care of such nuances.
Acting and other fields
It’s safe to say that “Idris Elba” is all over the film. He gave an impressive performance as always, other than the actors who gave excellent performances, the villain of the film “Andy Sirk” was among the best actors, Dermot Crowley, Hattie Morhan, Thomas Coombs, Natasha Patel, Cynthia Ario among others.
Other areas of the film, including editing, lighting, costumes, visual effects, have been done satisfactorily.
If you are a fan of suspenseful movies, especially movies where you don’t know where the story will end, then this movie is for you. Interesting to watch, you too are invited, enjoy this quality and interesting entertainment movie.
However, there are some violent scenes in the movie, which may go over your eyes, but the end of the movie will make you feel better.
