Brick Mansions
In a dystopian Detroit, abandoned brick mansions left from better times now house the most dangerous criminals. Unable to control the crime, the police constructed a colossal containment wall around this area to protect the rest of the city.
Cast - Paul Walker, Robert Maillet, RZA, David Belle, Carlo Rota, Kalinka Petrie
Director - Camille Delamarre
Verdict - Being Paul Walker's last film, the film will definitely do well, but the story-line doesn't seem to be that strong. Run of the mill action will satisfy those interested in the genre, others might not want to catch this one.

Lateef
In a fight against the addiction that crime has to offer, an honest cop fights a battle against drugs, bureaucracy and the mafia that threaten to take down his city.
Cast - Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Murli Sharma, Mukesh Tiwari
Director - Israr Ahmed
Verdict - Again, another run of the mill story-line. One man fighting against the evils of society. Might have been better if there was some sort of fresh spin to it. I'd give it a one time watch.

And amidst continuous exchange of bullets, altercations and murkier situations, it evolves into a journey of human connection with an unforeseeable end.
Cast - Vijay Raaz, Manu Rishi, Raj Zutshi, Vishwajeet Pradhan
Director - Vijay Raaz
Verdict - A good story-line with a good core concept. The film does a lot with very little and manages to pull it off over all. A good watch.

Cast - Roma Downey, Diogo Morgado, Louise Delamere, Amber Rose Revah, Andrew Brooke, Darwin Shaw

Verdict - Another perepective on the life and times of Jesus Christ. But isn't that historically accurate and nowhere close to being an entertaining film. I would give this a miss.
