Phantom User Reviews :
Kabir Khan comes again with an action-thriller, this time it is again about terrorism and a vigilante is hell-bent to destroy it.
"Phantom" is based on "Mumbai Avengers" by Khalid Hussain Zaidi. It relies on the idea of "killing Osama Bin-Laden in a covert operation by US Navy-Seal" i.e. Indian secret agency RAW thinks (or one person makes other think and persuade), when America can do it then why can't we Indian do it? When they can enter The Pakistan and kill the terrorists, then why can't we Indians do it? "Zero Dark Thirty" did it credibly.
In order to accomplish the mission they need a team and a high level authorization which they won't get in any cost. So they search for one man who is skilled like Phantom (No identity on papers), who can go on suicide mission and even if he dies, it won't matter.
A Court-Marshaled army office (Saif Ali Khan) is convinced after two failed attempts to go on the mission, if he is successful, he will get his pride back. He is accompanied by Nawaz (Katrina Kaif) who will help him to run the show.
The intention looks good, but the execution is just run off the mill. We have seen a lot of movies on the theme and it requires a real adventure and believable characters. The writing is very poor along with the clichés, it is never convincing and leaves many threads open. The protagonist takes the maximum risk and it becomes Ethan Hunt, Jason Bourne or 007, but the swag doesn't go well.
Saif-Ali Khan looks really dull with inconsistent facial hair and one probable expression throughout the movie. Katrina Kaif looks beautiful but a mannequin could do the same job.
The locations are fantastic though, cinematography is brilliant but it could not save the film when all the start cast is taking it like vacation.
A story we wish were true, but it needs soul and better screenplay. It looks like it has been written in a haste and dialogues are just plain.
