\"RRR\"RRR

\nLength: 182 minutes \/ 3.03 hours<\/p>\n

While I have watched some of the \u201cclassics\u201d of Indian cinema, I haven\u2019t kept up to date on this brand of foreign cinema. Nothing stood out enough for me to seek it out and watch it. That was until a friend of mine suggested I watch RRR<\/em> (2022). He described it as the most \u201canime-style live-action movie\u201d he\u2019d ever seen. This intrigued me, so I watched it. He wasn\u2019t wrong. It oozes machismo while also telling a compelling story about fighting against British occupation. And just to make sure that you know it\u2019s an Indian film, there\u2019s a great song and dance sequence that won an Oscar for Best Original Song.<\/p>\n

RRR<\/em> reads a bit more like an American action film, especially in how ridiculous it is. Of course, that\u2019s part of the reason I really love this movie. Sure, there\u2019s a lot of violence, but the creative ways that it\u2019s used made me laugh out loud at least a few times. Even despite its 3-hour runtime, there are enough action set-pieces scattered throughout to make its pacing fast enough to never lose interest. That these action sequences seem to one-up themselves just adds to the enjoyment.<\/p>\n

Movies are made from many parts working together, and RRR<\/em> has all of them working on all cylinders. Acting, directing, cinematography, sound, and music are all superb, thus creating a superb product. Even the CGI animals (which are a little jarring at first) are a great addition in a few pivotal scenes. My only disappointment comes not from the film itself, but that I can\u2019t own it outright. That I have to have Netflix to watch this film at all is a disservice to the masterpiece that everyone should watch.<\/p>\n

A magnificent hyper-action movie from India, I give RRR<\/em> 5.0 stars out of 5.<\/p>\n
