Movie Review: Rush

Rush explores the world of crime reporters, and Samir Grover is one of the best. When he is approached by Crime 24 to be their chief editor, Sam jumps at the opportunity - and the channel soon climbs to the top, with its breaking news and uncanny ability to be first on the scene.

However, Sam soon realizes there is more to it than good reporting - the channel's flamboyant boss Roger is responsible for "creating" most of the news - arson, murder, rape, riots, you name it.

Once the hunter, Sam and his fiance quickly become the hunted - will they be able to prevent themselves from being the "news"?

Possibly heavily influenced from a similar channel that was busted in Brazil a couple of years back, Rush has promise - but completely fails to deliver in every department. Emraan, Sarika Ghatge and Neha Dhupia look good, but just don't seem to want to get in the mood. Dialogues are flat and amateurish, the action non-existent, the romance lacks fizz, and the story just refuses to take off.

Overall, an extremely non-happening movie, you should probably check out Chakravyuh instead.
