It's easy to be cynical and see this as yet another holiday in someone else's misery, but Danny Boyle rarely disappoints and this delivers on every level - from acting, cinematography and a script that veers just the right side of feel-good-schmaltz. Boyle is the Scottish Alan Parker - attempting something different with every movie and unafraid to dabble in every genre. From TRAINSPOTTING to 28 DAYS LATER, SUNSHINE to SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, he never fails to deliver thoughtful, entertaining and well-crafted cinema. Forget the hype, leave your cynicism at the cinema door and revel in a tale that delivers poignancy, heart, laughs and suspense.
