Movie#72 Heartless

This movie is not for everyone. The real movie lovers would not mind sitting through till the end and finding out the obvious things unfurling in the movie but the rest would find it boring as it lacks good action, vibrancy and happiness, intimate scenes (at the least) or seemingly gripping storyline.
The storyline is simple superficially. It shows the life of a guy with a heart shaped tattoo around his left eye and a lonely life. The only close member in his life is his mother. Because he has a tattoo, he finds it difficult to socialize or to find a girl friend, and develops a different outlook towards the dull and difficult world around him. He tries to find answers to the questions based on the advice given by his late father. His father had told him that he was a special kid and needed to look at the world differently and the world would be difficult for him, but he would be able to see things around him differently from others. So he lives on. Things change when he notices creatures and demons around him and the tattoo mysteriously disappears. He befriends a mysterious little girl and her much much elder, with disfigured hand companion and strikes a deal with him much to his regret later. Things start to happen fast around him and he starts to lose the people he brings in to his life. Finally when he figures out what was happening, it was too late and too much for him to accept who had been responsible.
For people who are interested in psychological thrillers, this is a good watch. Others who know the actors and admire any of them, will also find this a worthy watch. But for the ones who demand fast pace action and happy movie, keep away and save your money. Personally I liked it. I shall give this one a 3 out of 5…
