Alpha Best Action Movie Reviews :

Armed with the potent Alpha serum, Sita (Alia Bhatt) is trained by Colonel Fateh (Bobby Deol) to become an elite assassin and a valuable asset for India’s special forces. However, everything changes when she discovers the truth about her past and goes rogue.Review: Along the way, Sita crosses paths with Durga (Sharvari), RAW chief Kaul (Anil Kapoor), and a tragic past that binds the trio together while reopening old wounds.Shiv Rawail’s Alpha rests on the petite shoulders of two capable female leads, neither of whom are conventional action stars — a relatively novel proposition for Bollywood. Rooted in the trauma of a stolen childhood, Alpha initially shows promise of crafting an action thriller around buried pain and emotional scars.

 You expect that inner conflict to shape the narrative. Even the idea of introducing two superheroic female assassins, reminiscent of Black Widow, into the YRF Spy Universe feels genuinely exciting on paper. Bollywood creating its own genetically enhanced super soldiers armed with elite combat training, think Captain America or The Winter Soldier, is an ambitious idea in itself.Unfortunately, Alpha soon devolves into a dull, fragmented and underwhelming drama, clumsily pieced together with painfully expository dialogue. It fails to establish the emotional resonance it sets out to create right from the beginning. 

There’s clearly more to Sita than being a mere killing machine, and her internal struggle could have formed the film’s emotional core. Instead, the story abruptly shifts focus to family conflict, hollow patriotism, forced twist and a pointless cameo by a light-eyed superstar.The writing and execution derail the film completely. The dialogues and repetitive war cries over-explain everything. “Alpha is all skill, no luck. Sabse pehle, sabse tej, sabse veer.” A scientist announces, “Iska IQ high hai,” while referring to a super soldier. RAW chief Kaul enters, only for someone to tell him, “Mossad chief aapse baat karna chahte hai,” simply to establish how important he is. We are also generously informed that “Battle se peeche hatne ko bhaagna nahi, strategic retreat kehte hai.” 

“Iss baar Sita Lanka khud jalayegi” is perhaps the only powerful line in the entire film.This origin story feels so empty that it has the depth and range of an energy drink or athleisure brand commercial, further diluted by ill-placed and inconsequential songs. The music often feels like an advertisement jingle, with “Tu hi toh Agni hai” blaring every time Alia Bhatt breaks into combat mode.A braided, stoic Alia Bhatt, despite her baby face, delivers a sincere performance and remains committed throughout, but the film gives her very little to work with. Sharvari is reduced to a bubbly sidekick, wasting much of her potential. 

Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor bring strong screen presence, but even they are let down by an overly convenient screenplay.The action sequences are slickly shot and Alpha certainly had potential, but it crashes into a narrative devoid of thrill, unnerving tension and grit required for a compelling action thriller. You ultimately walk away disappointed. This is no Ballerina from the world of John Wick.

Toxic Best Action Hindi Movie Review:  

Geetu Mohandas’ ambitious ideas struggle to survive in ‘Toxic’, a film dominated by Yash’s star image and visual excess. 50-50. That’s the balance one hopes for when a director and actor with polar-opposite sensibilities come together. You expect their individual styles to meet somewhere in the middle, creating a blend that belongs to both. In Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups, the disconnect between two people who see cinema differently is apparent. The result is an ambitious misfire.

Yash, who co-wrote the movie, said Toxic was going to be “a gangster drama with a difference.” He had hinted at an action movie that deals with “an interesting aspect of human life.” The actor was right. The problem is that those ideas are brought to the screen with terrible execution.

The gangster-drama thread revolves around the opium trade in Goa around Independence, when the region was still under Portuguese rule. Raya (Yash), a trusted associate of crime boss Salvador, sets his sights on monopolising the trade. The film’s human side explores Raya’s complicated relationship with women. He is drawn to Rebecca (Tara Sutaria), Salvador’s daughter, but what he feels for her is driven more by need than genuine affection. Things take a turn when he falls in love with Nadia (an impressive Kiara Advani), a circus performer.

Mesmerized by Nadia, a violent and increasingly “toxic” Raya loses focus on the empire he dreams of building. Their love story starts promisingly. Nadia holds a mirror up to Raya’s animalistic attitude. “Next time when you make love, I feel like you care about me and not feel attacked,” she tells him. For a while, Nadia seems to have some semblance of personality amid a host of characters who appear plastic (Sudev Nair, as Raaya’s trusted soldier, is completely wasted). But the relationship never blossoms into anything particularly interesting, as Toxic crams in one plot point after another. Ujwal Kulkarni’s choppy editing only makes matters worse, as does the film’s relentless showboating of Raya.

With Toxic, Yash makes it clear that he is, above all, an image-conscious star. The dialogues of his character, which he is now understood to have written, feel like they belong to the KGF universe. Even his dialogue delivery seems like an extension of his performance in KGF. None of it fits the world of Toxic.

It’s obvious to wonder how this film could have been, had it made room for more drama. I wonder why every conversation between Raya and his lady love had to lead to sex? Why do filmmakers forget the magic of intense conversation? The five main lead female characters (Huma Qureshi and Rukmini being the other two) start off with promise, but don’t get enough room to make a difference to the story.

Geetu Mohandas’ staging often feels painfully artificial. Characters stand around in fixed positions and deliver their lines, as though they are waiting for their turn to speak. There is little movement, spontaneity or unpredictability in these scenes; everything feels very carefully arranged and not particularly lived-in.

Raya turns to violence because, at one point, it is the only way he can save his sister Ganga (Nayanthara). But the violence soon becomes inseparable from him, clinging to him like a second skin. After a while though, the endless gunfire and action sequences begin to feel stale and exhausting. There is neither a compelling reason for Raya’s thirst for blood, nor a worthy adversary to challenge him, until his son Ticket (Yash again), jolts him out of his violent stupor.

Spider Man New Movie Reviews: 

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is my favorite movie of the summer. I am going to start this review by saying it is one GIANT SPOILER. I typically create dropdowns for a few specific plot spoilers in my reviews, but this movie proved difficult to use that tactic. So, if you don’t want to be spoiled, go see the movie and come back to see how it relates to the faith.

Spider-Man has always been one of my favorite superheroes. It is cool to see the scale at which some superheroes have to fight to protect the planet, but there is something special about having a friendly neighborhood hero.

Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man has been through a lot up until now. Among other hardships, he was introduced in the middle of the Avengers infighting during “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), he was a victim of the “blip” in “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018), his mentor and father figure sacrificed himself in “Avengers: End Game” (2019), and the world has forgotten Peter Parker due to the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021).

It is here we find our web-slinging hero, trying to do his duties as Spider-Man and maintaining his full anonymity.

Solitude versus Loneliness

Peter goes out of his way to pour his entire identity into Spider-Man. He even says, “Spider-Man has to do the hard thing even if it breaks Peter’s heart.” By putting Peter aside, however, he fails to recognize that his grief is not only over the loss of Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), but also over the loss of his own identity as a human being.

His self-isolation creates an aura of sadness around him, even as he continues to save the day. Other characters he encounters recognize this sadness and point out that he either needs to take a break from being Spider-Man or acknowledge the toll it is taking on him. Throughout the movie, Peter denies these warnings.

Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) serves as a cautionary tale for Peter. His response to grief has led him to swear off human connection almost entirely and to define “doing good” as killing criminals without giving them an opportunity for redemption.

When Peter tries to subtly re-enter the lives of MJ (Zendaya) and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon), he discovers that MJ has a boyfriend. His trauma and unresolved grief cause his powers to evolve. When driven by anger, he loses control of those powers and begins to resemble The Punisher in his ruthlessness.

From a Catholic perspective, there is an important distinction between solitude and loneliness. Solitude can be an intentional period of being alone in order to grow in one's relationship with God and, ultimately, to reconnect more deeply with others when that period of solitude ends. St. Alphonsus Liguori speaks of the fruits of solitude in The 12 Steps to Holiness and Salvation, stating, “Souls that love God feel a strong attraction for solitude, for they know that God converses familiarly with those who shun the noise and distractions of the world.”

Loneliness, by contrast, is an unhappy state of being alone. It carries a longing for connection, but the individual has—or feels that he has—barriers preventing him from connecting with others. For Peter, his self-imposed isolation has no conscious end date. Rather than helping him heal, it gradually eats away at his humanity.

Peter's use of technology, and his literal use of a mask to connect with others as Spider-Man, also reflects the way many of us use social media to seek connection while lacking deep relationships in real life. As four years pass at the beginning of the film, Peter watches his friends move through MIT by watching Ned's reels. The reels show highlights of their lives and the good times they share, but they keep Peter from knowing the full story of their lives and ultimately deepen his sense of isolation.

How true is this for many people who rely heavily on social media? We can see only the surface of another person's life. We may know where someone went, what they ate, or what they did over the weekend, without ever knowing who they truly are behind their own “mask.”

It is only when Peter begins to make meaningful connections—allowing his true identity to be known by a select group of people close to him—that he begins to embrace the changes in his life and succeeds as the hero of the movie. His journey comes full circle at the end, when he brings flowers to Aunt May's grave and says, “You'd be happy to know that I've decided I'm not going to do this alone anymore.”
Embracing the Responsibility of Adulthood

Hand-in-hand with Peter's loneliness and grief is his character arc of embracing the responsibilities of adulthood.

The famous line associated with every variation of Spider-Man is, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Uncle Ben is usually the one who utters this line before his death, sending Peter on his hero's journey. In the MCU, Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) delivers this lesson in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Peter is clearly exercising great responsibility as a superhero, but he is not taking the same responsibility in his personal life. His loneliness and grief cause his arachnid DNA to evolve in the same way a spider's does when entering adulthood. This transformation gives him heightened senses and organic webs, similar to Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. Yet his fear of his new powers causes him to act uncontrollably.

Instead of learning to navigate these new abilities responsibly, Peter immediately jumps into action and causes significant harm, nearly killing a police officer while fighting a mind-controlled Scorpion (Michael Mando).

Under the weight of this transformation, while simultaneously facing a threat unlike anything he has experienced before in the mind-hopping Jean Grey (Sadie Sink), Peter attempts to suppress his changes by creating an inhibitor. He even pretends to be a student and seeks advice from Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who has created an inhibitor to suppress the Hulk.

Based on Peter's questions, Bruce asks him, “What if what you want to control needs to be expressed?”

Bruce becomes another cautionary tale for Peter. When Jean Grey's mind control breaks the inhibitor, Bruce finds it nearly impossible to control the Hulk as his long-suppressed emotions are released.

With the inhibitor, Peter can continue fighting as Spider-Man, but he is unable to realize his full potential. Only when he embraces his changing powers and takes responsibility for them is he able to fight through Jean's defenses and help her receive the help she truly needs.

Although Peter's story is grandiose because he is a superhero, he is still experiencing the same transformational periods that all of us encounter as adults. People die. Friends drift apart. Relationships change. The weight of the world can sometimes feel as though it is resting on our shoulders.

Part of maturing into adulthood is recognizing that we are responsible for our actions and for the direction of our lives. In the life of faith, this means that we cannot continue practicing the faith simply because it was handed down to us. We must take personal responsibility for developing our own relationship with Christ.

Christ remains with us regardless of the changes we encounter as we persevere through life's challenges. He also established His Church as a means of uniting His people and allowing us to participate in the sacramental life as the Body of Christ. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states:

Khalifa Movie Reviews : 

When a star plays a notorious smuggler, there has to be a compelling reason for him to become one. Vysakh’s Khalifa provides Aamir Ali (Prithviraj Sukumaran) a reason with some emotional pull. A one-liner for the film could be this: ‘a heart-rending story of a man who becomes a master gold smuggler to repay his honest father’s debts caused by corrupt politicians’. However, the narrative lacks the intended emotional pull or the expected thrills. The similarity to umpteen films released in the 1980s and 90s adds to the movie’s dullness.

With antagonists also being gold smugglers, writer Jinu Abraham differentiates between good and bad smugglers. Yet no effort appears to have gone into updating the old story, which has now been covered in Malayalam cinema from almost every possible angle.

Apart from its novel depiction of the ways smugglers operate and a few reasonably executed fight sequences, little else seems to work in Khalifa.

The hyping up of the superstar cameo has something to do with this lack of novelty. The cameo comes too late in the day, after almost everything is done and dusted, to have any impact on the story or on the audience. It arrives almost as a postscript, teasing the scary possibility of a sequel, but it is unlikely that anyone on the film team will be ready for that misadventure after how this one turned out.

Even if one keeps aside the novelty factor, one of the weakest links is in the writing of the antagonist characters - smuggler Harris Basheer (Neil Nitin Mukesh) and politician Raghavan (Shammi Thilakan). At no point do they seem like worthy adversaries to Aamir Ali, who is always two steps ahead of them. The conflicts also don’t create anticipation. They don’t generate enough drama in the sagging narrative. One of the plot points involving Aamir’s close friend and associate Samad (Sanju Sivram) is sketchily written. To make up for the lack of drama and imagination, some recent real-world incidents have also been woven in, providing a clear sign of lazy writing.

Neither the writing nor the staging of the sequences produces memorable moments vital in a film of this nature. The repetitive background score and ‘slow motion walks’ of the characters add to the agony. Although Prithviraj has evidently put in a lot of physical effort for the character, there is nothing much he could have done with such a screenplay. Mohini, as Aamir’s mother, and Malvika Sharma, as Aamir’s wife, the only notable female presences in the movie, hardly get a few minutes of screen time.
