Note de the_ethereal_siren
Considering that most of the reviews I've read here so far glorify MOT because it was made with a low (no) budget, I thought I'd try to look at it from a different perspective.
Yes, yes, WOW look at the great effects, the great cinematography, the great editing etc etc & all with such a petite budget!!! From this, definitely a 10/10. But I guess that's what you get when you teach at a film school: easy access to equipment, production and keen hands.
Still, a film, no matter how pretty, no matter how well cut, fails to stand tall without the foundation of good storytelling. The storyline in MOT was predictable and rather dull: Bad person wants to forget his sins/past & to turn over a new leaf but past catches up with him with some dire consequences.
Nonetheless, the director attempts to spice up the story with the way he structures it. This makes it quite interesting overall but risks the viewer's engagement with the characters. The flat and one dimensional performances from the cast doesn't help either. Notwithstanding the characters of John and, sometimes, Tanya, the others were merely cut-outs from stereotypical characters.
Moolah or no moolah, MOT failed to engage me. The pretty pictures and pretty pictures only, made me into a lifeless observer and not the participant that I enjoy being when experiencing a film.
But yes, I'd be lying if I said that Amit didn't have any potential. Of course he does!!! However, at this stage it's like a George Lucas scenario where, coming from a post-production background, he seems only concerned with the polished and shiny surface of his product.
If he would take scriptwriting/storytelling as seriously as he does with the look of the film, then by golly, make way for the launch of a great director!
And this is something moolah cannot buy.
