This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A truck load of stolen money goes missing and the suspects have been apprehended but did they really need to drag out the interrogation process? I mean seriously in the beginning it seemed fine but this film nearly clocked 3 hours just based on unnecessary scenes. The acting was top-notch and I loved the song and dance sequences by Isha Koppikar and Malaika Arora-Khan which were great. You can tell a lot went into the thought and making of this film from the location (Los Angeles, California) to the all star cast including but not limited to: Amitabh Bachchan, Lucky Ali, Suneil Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Gulshan Grover, and others. Helmed by the maestro Sanjay Gupta.

This was the best action/crime thriller of the year .. Uncomparable .. The camera lights colors music acting are all in tune. The background score is well synched with the plot during all the movie. If you are mad for thrillers and love those Hollywood police/crime stories this is the right one for you. Just go for it.A cops/robbers story here we have Amitabh, Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Mahesh Manjrekar, Lucky Ali and Kumar Gaurav all set to rob a bank. You have only few numbers all of of which are simply great. Malaika is most of the time pole-dancing at the bar.Not the usual bollywood flick .. you could pass this as a Hollywood thriller.

i have seen this movie for more than 200 times.but i want to watch it again and again.in this movie every thing is great.all of actors are professional in their characters.but sometimes some people who don't know any thing about cinema said that:this is a copy from reserves dogs.i hase only one answer to say. imagine i order you to make some copies from a page.of course all of copies are in the worse qualities in compare with original page. now imagine that i order you to write a new story from an old story and in the new one you are free to change so many things and some times the result of this originality will be much better than original story. i forgot to say one more thing Tarantino movie is not an original film its made from an old American movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kaante, boasting of a millionaire star cast which includes Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, and Suneil Shetty, is Sanjay Gupta's latest Hollywood remake. Inspired from Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, Bryan Singer's The Usual Suspects, and Michael Mann's Heat, the film is about six NRI Indians who come together to pull off a bank robbery. But the movie falls short of expectations, mainly due to the gaping holes in the plot. Technically, the movie is first-rate, but Gupta's overuse of style becomes the movie's weak link. It seems that Gupta tried to camouflage the movie's inherent weaknesses with style. Performance-wise, Bachchan is commanding as the leader of the group. Shetty delivers a controlled, yet polished performance. Director-turned-actor Mahesh Manjrekar impresses with his funny antics. Lucky Ali and Kumar Gaurav hold their own. But it is the deadly Dutt who steals the show with his rugged looks and menacing screen presence. Despite its shortcomings, Kaante is a perfect popcorn flick which is worth a watch. 7/10.
