Slumdog Millionaire

What do we have here? Danny Boyle. Not everyone may know him, but he's a fairl established director. I'd go as far as to say he pulled a Neill Blomkamp before Blomkamp did with District 9. He used actors no one ever heard of, to deliver a fantastic and thrilling movie. However, they weren't as unknown, and some were even British, such as Dev Patel.

The movie basically revolves around a boy raised on his own in the slum being more successful than anyone else has in India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Seeing as he has no education this is very suspicious to everyone. Yet as he answers each question, it flashes back to his life experience involving how he knew it, esssentially telling the tale of his life.

It was wonderfully directed, written, and acted. It hit me, as well as many others, by surprise. The movie has also skyrocketed leads Dev Patel and Freida Pinto into immense fame.

If you like a good story, hell, a flawless story, please watch this movie.

I rate this movie 8.8 out of 10.
