Slumdog Millionaire (2008) Review

Dev Patel isn't in enough movies. And why not? He proved himself capable of good acting in 2008's slumdog millionaire. He's in less than 10 movies total. His character, Jamal Malik, is the best in the story. He's honest, likeable, smart, and interesting. And the story is brilliant, a "slumdog" wins big on a game show, is accused of cheating and explains his answers and prior knowledge. The movie itself stays interesting, thrilling, and even introduces some new terms: Chai Wallah, computer-lockye-D (or something like that). It's genius. It's perfect. The only problem with it is it's Dev Patel's only good movie. Hopefully Chappie will be a success, but I can't see that paying off.
Movie Rating: A
