Bang Bang! (2014)

How bad is it? 7
How unintentionally bad is it? 8
How entertainingly bad is it? 4


This is a Bollywood remake of "Knight and Day," a film I didn't care for to begin with. Adding 30 minutes of musical numbers and another 20 of product placement (why is there a Pizza Hut on a mountain cliff?) doesn't help. It was directed by Siddharth Anand, who also did "Dhoom 2" which I plan to review later and he's not good - he likes to pad the film with lingering emotive shots, while making a basic action pic. The plot has a woman getting involved with a mysterious man and then being led around the world through dangerous stunts, while trying to decide if he's a good guy or a bad guy. She can't act (I'm also told she can't speak Hindi well, but that's not something I can judge). The film ends up just being beefcake shots of the male lead.
