Review of Don

Don (I) (2006)
7/10
Mix Scarface+James Bond and you get "Don".
30 December 2006
Don has the bad attitude of Scarface, with the coolness of James Bond.

Don does not disappoint, it might just surprise you. Like it did me. Goofy at times (some odd dancing/singing suddenly jumps in), but very well done action and filming. The editing could of been better during action scenes, at times you notice bad-guys waiting for their turn and for the final blow.

The story is not groundbreaking, but sticks to your typical James Bond style setup. Drugs and power. Almost seems like directors cant think of any other way to go when making action movies anymore...but hey, it works.

The thing that REALLY bugged me with this movie was the dialog. This is a "Hindi" movie, but every third sentence is said in English. Why the hell did they do that? Its almost as if they are desperately attempting to attract the American market and thinking this is the way to do it...but it does the opposite. It makes the movie incredibly annoying. Also its the main reason I did not give this movie a higher rating. They should of focused more on sticking to their own countrys style instead of blending in Americas.

All in all, its a good movie despite its flaws.
