The Killer

This is an excellent copy of Collateral. Actually, much better than the American version. I almost did not see the movie, but once I started watching I could not turn it off. The acting and the dialogues are excellent. Emraan does a great job as a taxi driver and Irfan is again the bad guy playing the role of the hired killer. Nisha Kothari does a decent job of providing glamour in the movie. The location, Dubai is also a good location for the movie. The negatives are the acting of the police team. The three main police actors seems to be hired out of a low-budget movie. This is a good thriller which is hard to find in Indian movie market.

This movie is basically the movie "Collateral" except with a few twists and a slightly better plot. Literarly most of the scenes are directly copied from Collateral, though I won't spoil which ones. Great movie otherwise. The hit-man in this movie can walk circles around Tom Cruise any day in terms of acting and style. Usually Bollywood misses the mark when it rips of American movies (at least for the American audience), but this time the end result turned out even better. This movie has plenty of action, some typical Bollywood dancing (only three instances) and the hit-man even sings in one scene. If you liked Collateral, or even if you didn't definitely see this.

I don't like copies but me and my family could not stop watching this once we starting watching. Collateral is good, but Collateral's ending was cheesy. This one shows all assassination scenes. The dialogue is better and some good songs.

I really enjoyed this movie every scene is worth watching even though every scene is cleanly copied from collateral it has its unique style of Indian blend so if this the idea was Indian well people would say it is an original Indian movie it is a very decent remake of collateral most Indian movies aren't very good remakes usually when they are based upon American movies and now for the acting emraan hashmi is a little goofy even though he does a good job i have to say for irfan khan his character is actually portrayed even more deadly than collateral's tom cruise and he has done a very good seemingly because his character is more developed than that of emraan hashmi overall 8/10 is the rating i give it because it establishes its own unique style on the movie being a remake.

This movie, is an awful, awful, awful version of the original with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. The Plot is more or less copied word to word with very little originality. The movie lacks any kind of suspense and emotion. Although Irfan Khan may have played commendable roles in the past, his negative character in this film has very little believability. He might as well have been out buying his groceries and became irate at the service with the supermarket and decide to kill a few people on his way home in anger. Thats how believable he was. Tom Cruise's character was very dark. As for the taxi drivers role, Jamie Foxx played a character that had issues in his personal life when Tom Cruise sat in his Cab. Tom Cruise forced him to confront some of these issues and in turn brought out more of his character. Hashmi's character had nothing. He was an ordinary taxi driver with no real background story and could easily have been played by anyone. As for Kothari's role, she was just there to add the usual bit of glamour. Again no real character as Jada Pinkette played. For those of you who can sit there and claim that this is a better version....my guess is, you know very little about film. Personally i think that the producers could have made this a better film by changing Irfan to either Manoj Bajpai or even the Big B. Even then, judging by its originality, i doubt it would have been a great movie.
