Purely Joyful Movie!
Perfectly adorable
One of my all time favorites.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
View MoreThis movie sucks so bad that my eyes couldn't believe!. I mean, come on!, the whole movie was filled with clichés like the tough guy wearing sunglasses (even in the dark) and fist fights so poorly acted. Sir Kingsley, I hope you are reading this and if so, you owe me one and a half hours of my life...and i want them back!. BTW, the way they speak through the entire movie reminded me of those English dubbed Chinese movies.It's very difficult to understand how a man who played such a profound role like Gandhi can perform such a terrible movie like this one. Overall, worst movie ever...and Mr. Kingsley, i mean it, i want my wasted time back!
View MoreThis movie was so terrible that I was so surprised that how could it turn out to be, with an actor like Ben. But then I realized that the whole production team and the cast was just horrible, so there's no surprise that it was an epic failure.Made me wonder whether they did have a casting session before selecting the cast or at least even read the script twice! Why didn't they go for Sri Lankan actors? Instead, they had to go for people who called themselves actors, only god knows from where they were picked up from.Major blow to Sri Lanka and as a Sri Lankan, I am quite crossed about making this movie. I hope people will not think bad about Sri Lankan movies, because we produce many good movies which goes and wins foreign movie festival awards. But among them, here this is, smearing mud on our faces.Absolutely horrible. Cannot give 0. So I'm giving 1 out of 10.
View MoreBen Kingsley and Ben Cross was hired into playing in this film which is a Sri Lankan action movie made for the foreign market. I'm sad to say that though the plot is good, and this should be a good film, and though the two Bens are doing their job, at lot of other things falter here.The other actors are not good, except perhaps for a couple of the younger guys. Some are almost horrific in their acting. This is the. Ewes reporter, the hacker, the curly policeman running and taking other decisions of his own. Most of the actors are making faces, obviously not trained actors at all, and only the solitude moments with the two Bens are functioning.The amateurish running in the streets are so lame to watch, that after this incident you stop taking the film seriously. A good B-film effort falls short due to incompetence from writer and director. B-film doesn't have to be bad. They are just made with less economic force, and with lesser paid actors. Sometimes we see that A-actors are put in B-films to make them better, or at least more attractive. This was the reason I watched this. So it helps, though you're a bit annoyed. Let's wish the film makers learn from reading reviews.This film is some kind of a remake of "A Wednesday" which is an Indianmobie with the score of 8,2 here on IMDb. If nothing else, this film wants me to watch that as well.
View MoreWithout question, a new addition to IMDb's "Worst 10 of All Time." Not sure it would be possible to pen a more absurd script..........even far more challenging to collect a more untalented team of supporting actors....no, wait, the script is that horrible.......nothing could be worse.I can only imagine that Ben Kingsley and Ben Cross did the Sri Lanka Movie Industry a favor by agreeing to offer their talents. Unfortunately, if this is the best they can produce, Sri Lanka will NEVER again be able to lure any B-Actor (or C, D, E or F-Level actor for that matter) from Hollywood.I honestly feel that any high school's Performing Arts Department could have created a more interesting story, delivered the dialog better and given some semblance of acting and directing ability. "DON'T quit your day job" is the only advice I could give the people who produced "A Common Man."
