Pluses                   Art house treatment to a thriller,amazing crisp editing,silence works big time in film (as there are hardly 38 lines for Ryan to speak) in order to create mystique around the characters,action is sudden,real and pulsating,direction is intense,Mulligan-Gosling chemistry has sparks,climax is worth the wait
Minuses                Nothing except being slow at places
Verdict                 4.5/5 (watch it as this is as good as it gets)
Box Office Prediction       It should collect in the region of 4-6 crore as this kind of cinema has few takers in our country

Minuses                Nothing except may be few will not like the twist in the end 
Verdict                 4/5 (watch it to believe that action film can be entertaining too except being irritating like 'Ready' and 'Bodyguard',John's best performance even better than 'Dhoom' and yes please watch it with 'taalis' and seetis' in a housefull single screen theater)

Minuses                Climax is a bit let down
Verdict                 3.5/5 (watch it to believe why i didn't like 'Yeh Saali Zindagi'-here every character has soul and twists are realistic and there is no unnecessary style dose in dialogues)
