Slumdog Millionaire was released this week and it’s the latest effort form director Danny Boyle. I’d heard literally NOTHING about this movie but I knew from the way that it was being talked about that it might be a pretty good movie. I was wrong. It’s an EXCELLENT movie…see what I did there?

If you’ve not heard about it, starts off with the interrogation/torture of a young man who as we find out quickly is from the slums in Mumbai who manages to gets on the show ‘Who Wants to be a Milliionaire’. The story basically weaves the questions asked on the show with his life spanning across three time periods.

The situations and the character development is incredibly well paced and the story, much like the show keeps you on the edge of your seat. If I had a complaint it’s the fact that the ending that I came up in my head for the movie would have probably made it into more of a classic than it is destined to be.
