A nice movie

The week gone by has been a really hectic one. On Friday evening, I decided that during the weekends I will simply laze around and relax at home. A colleague of mine had given me the DVD of Die Hard 4.0, so I decided to watch it yesterday morning. The movie boasts of some excellent stunts, visual effects and some good dialogues. But to be honest, I expected a lot more from the film, considering all the hype and good reviews I had heard from my friends. All in all, it was an OK movie, good enough to sit and watch on a Saturday morning.

In the afternoon, I switched on the TV and while browsing through the channels, I hit on Zee Studio and the starting titles of a movie were rolling on. It said "Life of David Gale" starring Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslett and Laura Linney. I had never heard of this movie before but since I am a big fan of Kevin Spacey and Kate Winslett, I decided to watch it for a while and see if it is any good. I ended up watching the whole movie and was pleasantly surprised. It is really a very nice movie, a very good political thriller.

Kevin Spacey is without a doubt one of the best actors in Hollywood and this movie further proves that point. He really takes the movie to a different level with his acting prowess. Kate Winseltt looks as pretty as ever and she is one actresss who acts as well as she looks.

If you want to watch a good political thriller with some really good acting, I guess this is one movie to watch. Definitely not among my favourites, but a really good movie nevertheless.
