HEY — if this reads a bit like a draft … it’s because it is!
Similar to The Dead (2010), I give this film a Yellow Puss/nearly Green Ooze score.
Similar story elements as the first film however seems that the Ford brothers have honed their craft both with storytelling and film making
A good looking American engineer is working in an economically depressed foreign country, he must make his way out with the assumption that he can get to safety
In this movie, the action is set in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
Uses local talent as part of the story line more than The Dead (2010) — which is really clever if you think about it. This and the first piece were made by independent film makers for rather little money. By going to these other countries and writing stories that work within the local atmosphere the can get more resources and actors, making a bigger film for less money. When it comes to India, bear in mind that Bollywood produces some goofy stuff, they also produce skilled actors, quite a few more films annually than HolloWood, and nearly-as-good special effects for less money.
