Reality assasin

How would you feel if you were working on Sundays too? Trying to avoid anwering, lemme just share what I did yesterday. Well, was working the channel’s blog since morning. Then, waiting for the stories to come in. Meanwhile, had tea with one of our bosses.Consequence: “there’s no point waiting for the stories. It doesn’t seem like they would come anytime now. Let’s just leave now. Do the rest tomorrow morning.” For moment I was wondering about how I would be spending the rest of my evening.

Mohan dropped us off near sector 16. Like usual, I threw my impulsive plans across Anirban, who was walking with me. Soon he agreed to my idea of a movie. Before we could even finish discussing, we were fiddling with tickets for the movie “Rogue Assasin.” Should I mention though I am not a great fan of action, I decided to go with Anirban? Must say it was worth every moment inside the cinema.

My ignorance about action is to extent that I did not know either Jet Li or Jason. Thanks to Anirban for having put up with my dumb questions on the cast.

The movie revolves around the lives of two FBI officers who are partners in getting hold of a very infamous “Rogue.” The movie opens with an encounter where they manage to kill “Rogue.” The first twist is that Rogue manages to save his life, only to get rid of one of those FBI officers, John. Revenge- Rogue goes to John’s house kills John, his wife and his four year old daughter, and burns the house.

Three years later, Crawford, John’s partner bumps into a case where he finds clues to John’s murder. This assures Rogue’s existence and he gets keen on tracing him. He manages to gather enough clues to find out that this man named, Sham Victor is the new Rogue after a cosmetic surgery.

The story has several twists right from the beginning. To top it is when the movie is nearing the finish. Climax followed anti- climax, the movie definetely has the best for the last.

It was no less than two hours of complete escapism.

Well,that is what I call “ a perfect Sunday evening.”
