Chocolate is ''Ususal Suspects''
by Sree on Sep 18, 2005 11:35 AM

Chocolate is a bad remade inspiration of "Usual Suspects". The logic is lost in many places due to the small changes they have actually made like... changing Anil Kapoor's role from that of a police inspector to that of a lawyer the whole movie becomes pointless.

Then there is the robbery itself.... i felt like puking on it. after a long time a movie has given me a headache..

Yes Rediff's reviews are completely unrelaible. Each time a different reviewer with no consistency. Review of Chocolate is bland and lacks any useful insight for a viewer who would like to base his decision to view or not to view on teh review. Does the reviewer not know that the movie is a blatant rip off of Kevin Spacey's Usual Suspect??? What does she mean by 'inspired'! It is a shameless copy that was just made into an incomprehensible (but stylish) hotch potch. Events and scenes donot connect and every scene leaves you more confused about its connection with the larger goal of the plot. Dialogues that just are desperate to sound "cool" really fall flat(someting about bras and faking orgasms!)

On the whole a movie that leaves you angry coz you want to support such daring ventures but find it hard because of the mess the director makes of it all in pursuit of being "cool" and hep! Give me a break.
And as for your reviews - please get in some consistency, Rediff. Stick to the same reviewers.

Old Toffee in Glitzy Wrapping

Bryan Singer's The Usual Suspects. Enuff said? Well, those conversant need not get off their chairs just yet..the end here is different. Not as diabolical as Kevin Spacey walking out, but different. Which is about the only good thing about the movie.

In the hands of a proper director, even purloining a classic can result in a good movie as in Kaante. But not here - the camredrie among the "team" is non-existent, the tension flat,the whole crap of the sexual emanicpated indian gets tiresome and suspense and jarring background scores just dont gel.
Regarding the cast - Anil Kapoor is too loud, Hasmhi and Arshad are wasted(Warsi is alarmingly getting typecasted as the witty sidekick), only Irfan acts properly understated and Tanushree has a dream debut - you come out rembering more her pretty swinging butt than her face. The choreography is chewing gum good - you get the feeling throughout that this is what you get if you stick a camera in a MTV-addled teenagers hands. Could someone convey this old homlie - suspense is about people and plot,not locale and posturing. Overall, dont get fooled by the wrapping - this chocolate is too sweet to chew.
