One Sentence Review: ‘Slumdog Millionaire’

Danny Boyle has fashioned a ripping escapist yarn out of the bleakest of settings, harnessing wonderful performances and using the camera like it’s a bullwhip yet, oddly, it’s the slickness and lightening pace of the opening ten minutes that may be one of ‘Millionaire’s fundamental flaws which left this viewer slightly apathetic to our central character’s quest.

3.5/5
