There is a gritty underbelly of early 1990's Bombay that leaps off the screen in vividly raw clarity in the best movie - by far - I've seen in several years, Slumdog Millionaire.
Buckle up and hold on for a cleverly suspenseful linear narrative that will take you from a cozy game show viewing couch to running from organized crime thugs, all in the name of chasing our own destiny in a valiant search and conquer of true love.
It's movies like this that make me weep for the big studio malaise Hollywood currently endures.
Bravo, Slumdog.
