Movie Review | RAW is a Spy Thriller Without Any Thrill
RAW overall is a raw deal with nothing new to offer. Tune in to this podcast for the full review.
There is a point in the film when one of the characters utters “it’s all too obvious” and it seems like the fourth wall broke and we were being addressed directly! It’s all too obvious indeed and the lumbering manner in which the tale is told doesn’t help matters either.
Written and directed by Robbie Grewal, RAW is set in the 1970s leading up to the events that created Bangladesh. Frenzied camera work hints at the uncertainty that such a highly charged atmosphere warrants. A closer look however would reveal the vacuous plot marred by predictability.
