Awesome movie. A young kid from the slums is on the India version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. As he answers question after question, the producers believe he is somehow cheating. As the boy is being questioned/tortured as to how he knew the answers, it begins a series of flashbacks to show how he really knew the answers.
This movie recently won the Golden Globe for Best Movie. Did it deserve it? I don't know. I probably would have voted for The Dark Knight, but as a superhero movie, most people discount it due to genre. That said, Slumdog is still an amazing movie. It takes a few minutes to get used to the accents, but after that it flows nicely with minimal subtitles. Danny Boyle once again shows why he is one of the best directors going today. He released my movie of the year in 2007 (Sunshine) and releases one of the best in 2008 too.
No Morgan Freeman. No Danny Glover. Can't remember if there are any explosions.
9/10
Great great movie. An easy recommendation. If you get a chance to see, do so.
