Chambers Gate

I watched this film at its premiere at Beverly Hills at the film festival,this film was awarded as the best feature film at the closing ceremony night. I'm not one for movies about money and mafias and cons and all that, but aside from that, it's just as much a tale about relationships and what people are really like. This film really benefited from the actors improvising, as it lead to some very funny moments.My only criticism is that it felt it lacked a little something with story. The actors improvise on their greyish characters and provide more entertainment than the script possibly could. That certainly isn't the film-maker's achievement but he did choose the right cast that could pull that con off on the audience. I can say that I was not disappointed and absolutely loved the film. People take different experiences and sensibilities with them when they see movies, and mine led me to be engaged and empathetic towards the characters. Their story interested me and I came out of the cinema thoroughly enjoying myself.

What are the necessary requirements for making a good movie? I guess strong acting, realistic judgments made by characters, complementary music and tight pacing are essential elements in achieving this.Looks like Chambers Gate is very well made by film professionals.All the actions that the characters made were justifiable and any other person in that situation would have done the same. I have not revealed much about the movie in this review because you have to see it to understand the power of this movie.Music video at the end is a very powerful message to the world.The movie has multiple twists arousing the curiosity of the audience culminating into a superb climax.

Despite its somewhat bleak tone, the film still manages to have its fair share of funny and heartwarming moments, which are seamlessly intertwined into the film's more dramatic scenes. Mukesh Asopa as Julian is perfectly cast as the wisecracking, yet intelligent politician.He and his positive attitude toward his survival is what keeps us invested in the story. The rest of the cast are great too, which includes Christine Saade, Lee Anne Ford, Voytek Skrzeta, Glenda MacInnis, and even Khalid Klein who played gangster. I was also particularly pleased with the film's pacing, there was never a moment that felt rushed or slow and boring. This is a welcome introduction to for the director Charles Ross.

Overall a highly entertaining movie, packed with good acting,editing and a storyline that is well thought-out and manages to keep the audience hooked until the end. A solid addition to the franchise.

This is a very maturely written, photographed and acted movie.There'll be more questions than answers as the movie progresses where the end will allow the viewer to fill in the blanks with an implied causality from connecting the dots looking back which is the best way to write a movie and view it. Don't explain everything. The audience has a better imagination and intellect.Not to spoil the movie but the plot twist towards the end is probably in my opinion the high point of the film in which the viewers' jaws drop.

Over all an excellent movie, with great character development, great acting, clever cinematography,truly a film worth watching alone or with a friend.

I rate it 8.5

Chambers Gate, the name inspired me to watch the film. I'm not a big fan of this kind of premise but this has good writing so it's different with writing, directing, acting, camera work and not the usual number and quality of suspension of disbelief moments that have me bitching at the screen. The beginning drew me in and since the story kept me guessing while I tried to figure out the characters.The movie has great special effects and great directing. Its full of twists and turns.All actors were very good in their part. Mukesh Asopa performs well in the role, and the support from Voytek Skrzeta, Christine Saade, Glenda MacInnis, Lee Anne Ford and more is strong and definitely adds plenty of body to the film.
