Starring Nicolas Cage as the father of a kid, this action-thriller seems to overcome the inadequacies of this Director Alex Proyas’ earlier film in 1998, ‘Dark City.’ ‘Knowing’ is somewhat different by reason of the fact that it tries to give interpretations to codes discovered by the son of a professor.

In 1958, an elementary school proposes to collect some drawings from the children to be stored in a time capsule. All the children are busy sketching while one little mysterious girl writes down numbers arbitrarily in a row. Fifty years later, the professor’s son gets hold of this inscrutable message and challenges his dad to decipher it. On trying to figure out the interpretation, the professor comes off with some frightful predictions that is expected to cause destruction on a global scale.

Kirk Jones has tried to give something entirely different for his action fans, the dialogue is completely in the form of rap. So it’s quite natural that only an audience who fancy rap music and ‘gangster movies’ would appreciate it.

The film begins with the protagonist, Kirk wanting very much to quit street life. There’s a crime fight going on where the opponents are gunned down, Kirk is caught in the crossfire and is in the midst of bloodshed. As you see, it is a simple premise but a novel presentation which has not so far been attempted by anyone.

To all you rap music lovers, you are invited to tune in.

The makers of Watchmen have done a worthwhile job through the adaptation of the critically acclaimed novel which in people’s opinion was considered ‘impossible to be made into a film.’ This is certainly the one that would gratify the audience’s appetite for a modish action film with breath taking visual effects. Riddled with violence and sex, you would agree that this is not for children.

The plot focuses on a group of masked and costumed vigilantes called Watchmen investigating the death of The Comedian, who eventually discover that someone is attempting to wipe out the Watchmen. Driven to uncover the truth behind The Comedian’s murder, Rorschach gets his former team, who have now retired, to delve into the mystery surrounding the death. In the process, they discover horrifying truths including the Russians having a nuclear war with the Americans.

Snyder and writers David Hayter and Alex Tse have accomplished a complex task of living up to the expectations of Watchmen fans while crafting a comprehensible movie, eliminating substantial parts of the novel, for those who haven’t read the Watchmen. Enjoy it.
