Law Point

My review: Law point

Lijin Jose's "Law Point", written  by Devadas is a suspense drama that take its own time to the point where the twist is revealed. The twist too is not that a strong one that might give the audience a jolt. If one was open to the possibilities and had a keen eye on the proceedings, the twist might not come as a surprise. The screenplay is a long drawn out keeps ambling along at a snail pace until the point when the twist arrives.

 First half starts off promisingly on an interesting premise but soon the movie changes its focus becomes a road movie all of a sudden. Then after the intermission the flashback portions with all its cliched occurrences (may be intentionally so) will test one's patience. Finally when you resign yourself for a cliched ending, the twist happens, but one can't help but have a feeling of wanting for more. May be a more radical thinking or a more heavier twist might have made matters better.  

Kunchako Boban is good as the intelligent advocate Sathya who thinks he can get away with his intelligent play totally unaware that he himself is being taken for a ride. Namitha Pramod's role does evoke queations in one's mind initially when you see there is not much substance in it but towards the end the importance of the role just manifest itself onscreen. Good support cast have given credible support to the narration.

Technically movie is good. Bijibal's background score amplifies the narrative strength of the writer. On the whole, "Law Point" is an average movie. One needs loads of patience to sit through it with only solace being its climax. 

Bottomline: Mostly pointless...

3/5
