Review: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE (2008)


Danny Boyle's new film definitely should belong on the top of his filmography with the likes of Trainspotting, Millions and 28 Days Later. It's the story of a boy who has a chance to win 20 million rupees on India's version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and is accused of cheating as he approaches the 20 million rupee question, from this point on the boy tells his story of how he knew the answers by tying it in with his personal life. It's a compelling film that does not shy away from harsh realities but also has many layers and shows both the dark and light sides of these characters worlds. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is an excellent film to say the least.

The Boom Verdict: 5 out of 5
