Fox (2009)

The Worst Film Ever

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

If you are not prejudiced towards Sunny Deol, then you are going to love this movie if you watch it. I donno if it's copied or not, but it's well taken. It's sad that some deserving films don't get to do well at the box office.The movie is a thriller that revolves around a corrupt lawyer turned good lawyer who retires from service,and gets involved in a series of murders he hasn't committed, when he dons the identity as the author of a book which he doesn't actually write. The investigating officer in the case is played by Sunny.The rest is about how and if Arjun is able to get out of the melee he is in.Direction is excellent, songs are noteworthy, acting is good, and the climax is unique. If you've watched Sunny Deol films before,you'll see that.9 stars for FOX

This film starts off right away (my sister and I started watching it together and she went to the kitchen for 5 minutes and swore that I had fast forwarded it when she returned -- I hadn't and a quick rewind proved that) if you blink you might miss an important clue.But all that said, the greatness of the film is ruined by pointless banal songs and lackluster dance numbers. Bollywood should learn that not every genre of their films should include songs. Everything kind of starts to go downhill from the introduction of the first song and the movie itself becomes a predictable variation of Hollywood's thriller 'The Taking of Pelham 123'. The suspense is sucked out of the entire film by the addition of pointless scenes, especially the ones including Sagarika Ghatge(Chak de India) who is supposed to be a lawyer but ends up playing to role of detective. Sunny Deol, Udita Goswami and Rituparna Sen Gupta co-star but the film belongs to Arjun Rampal whose acting seems to have truly improved these days.

What an awful movie. There was a lot of bad acting in it. The movie is very slow. You only get to hear about the book "Fix the fox", but you don't get top see something about the murders, what could have made the movie interesting to watch.Camera work is bad and not always consistent. A scene where Arjun looses himself the camera which is focusing on him is messy. The shot next with a girl is steady and then the third shot with Arjun is also steady. This doesn't work.When Sunny Deol is a very careful man, why has he a hidden room in his house with all evidence pointing against himself? Isn't that stupid?I didn't like "A murder of crows" and this movie isn't even better.

Fox promises to be a mystery-suspense-thriller. The performances of all the lead actors is the best part of the movie. Had Deepak spent more time tightening the loose ends, Fox would have turned out to be an intelligent thriller. ﮭ Arjun Rampal:: Post Rock On, this guy has mastered the grammar of performance. He delivers at ease.ﮭ Sunny Deol:: Makes an entry just before the first-half and it is sad to see Sunny to be cut-down to such short roles. He should seriously re- invent himself. His character is pretty much the same we have seen umpteen number of times earlier.ﮭ Sagarika Ghatke:: The "Chak De" is pretty glamorous and deserved more room to showcase her performance. ﮭ Udita:: Nothing great - safe to say "usual".ﮭ Vipul Gupta:: Perhaps his character was simply loud and used for diversion.On technical front, the direction is good barring the jerky camera movements at few places.While the audience expect "clever as a fox", Deepak Tijori delivers "crazy like a fox". Recommended only if aired on telly.
