Johnny Gaddaar (2007)
Awesome thriller - though we know who the killer is!
It is an awesome thriller even though I know from the start who the killer is! I liked the movie a lot. It is like the Hitchcock movie "North By Northwest" or like the movie "Phone Booth" - when you start watching it you cannot stop, you have to see the whole movie.
Sad but a true fact that non-masala good movies always fail at box office, so it is no surprise that Johnny G didn't do well at Box Office.
I wasn't aware of this film director before, but the way the movie is directed and the bits and pieces are displayed - I am really impressed! Each and every detail are so nicely laid out, even the titles at the start are really impressive. Don't forget the way the word "Intermission" is shown. It is a work of a genius and very rare movies display such nice details.
Adding it to my "must watch" movies list.
Notorious (1946)
No Suspense/Thrill as expected from a Hitchcock Film
I have seen a lot of Hitchcock movies and truly I am a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock movies. I have seen "The 39 Steps", "Strangers On a Train", "North By Northwest", "Psycho", "Vertigo", "Rope", "Dial M for Murder", "Rear Window", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "The Birds".
Notorious was the worst of all the Hitchcock movies I have seen till date. It is a plain simple romantic story with slight suspense and with lots of kisses. It was so boring that I even though to stop watching it after 30 mins(This never happened to me for any Hitchcock movie). Only because it was a Hitchcock movie I watched it full, but was very much disappointed. The ending was grossly abrupt and I never expected it was the end and I was thinking my media player was showing something wrong and there must be some 10 to 15 mins still left to solve the puzzle and get the details of what happened to mystery of the Uranium powder, etc.
Cary Grant was impressive as usual, other than that there was nothing in the movie. It may be attractive for college goers who like to watch kisses on the screen, but is having no good story line with suspense.
I don't know how other reviewers said it was the best Hitchcock movie. If I didn't knew that it was a Hitchcock movie I could never have realised that it was a Hitchcock Film!
To me the Best Hitchcock film, which I have seen, is "North By Northwest". It keeps you glued to your seat, not like Notorious, which bumps you off your seat.
