As posted by others below, this movie is loosely based on the academy award winning A few good men. I am okay with Bollywood basing movies on successful Hollywood films as long as it is done sensibly. I was really looking forward to this movie as I really liked AFGM and have watched it many many times. The direction of the movie is terrible, the movie is not paced correctly. A lot of time is spend in characters peripheral to the story and there is no payoff at the end. Also the whole Hindu/Muslim angle did not make sense. It has been done over and over, why not pick something less offensive, something communally neutral? Also, the script is quite weak. It takes Bose weeks to figure out that Javed had 11 bullets left? Are you kidding me?? It took an epiphany to figure that out?? The performance of Bose is no match for Cruise, same is true about all other characters. KKM, as good as he is, come no where close to JN's performance. Another little annoying part of the movie was how some of the dialogues were literal translation (such as "you can't handle the truth"). Why not write more sensible dialogues that make sense in the Indian setting. Guess they are not creative enough to do so...Avoid this one; Two thumbs down.
