crack the code contest
A thriller that promises you $20k and suddenly grabs you by the horns!
I wake up one morning to a dvd in mail. It reads, "Chance to win $20000.00, crack the code". Now they have my interest. I have just moved to United States after a stint with a major Indian newspaper to review Bollywood films. I ask myself,"How the hell did they find me". I had not even informed my dear friends about the move. So I popped the DVD in player thinking that these guys have to be real desperate. And boy, Was I right? The first half of movie sucked like rotten tomatoes. I wanted to turn it off but that code and $20K? Now here's the deal! Film-makers wanted me to identify the four digit numerical code, basically four single digits in the order that they appear in the film, input at their website, make 20K. SO pretty much I sulking through the film, looking for my money until the film actually grabbed me by my horns. Holy cow! I did not even realize, when it happened? I was hooked and last 45 minutes were like, Okay! may be you deserve a review. So here I am, an indie thriller from bollywood, which opens like a trashy B grade film school kind of deal, develops into something that holds your attention for 45 long minutes. It may not be in my best interest to write this review, since I was looking for ways to win that $20K but it is hard. May be they forgot to place the code in my DVD. Per their movie website, the code appears only in theatrical version. Now a reviewer is going to a theatrical screening of a film, to make some money. Regarding the film, it's all right. Where's my money?
