Frans B @FransB 5d B Grade at best. Lazy writing and wooden acting from cast makes it difficult to watch. Familiar premise, but uneasy lapses and irregularities in "plot" creates vague and blunt picture. Whole cast, including the amazing Ben Kingsley, looks uncomfortable and a bit dazed at times. Lots of planning and going to some lengths in production does shine through though. Chandran Rutnam is hugely popular in Sri Lanka and no stranger to directing and also experienced Hollywood vibes, but this movie is perhaps not precisely what he envisioned. Not bad, but not exceptional. See more Erik H @RT54045407 Mar 15 What is been Kinsley doing in this movie? Why is he in it? BORING, slow, unbelievable acting, terrible story line, not even a good make out movie because the voices are so ridiculous. See more 02/14/2022 I like it, a lot. Saw it 3 or 4 times. Seems quite cheap, some of the acting is kind of crapy, but I simple love it. And Ben K. is amazing as always! With way more budget they could get some better acting, but that wont improve the movie that much. See more 01/20/2018 It’s a low budget movie with an intriguing story. Some of the acting is not believable. See more 06/30/2017 A Common Man is A Movie, tailored after other movies and packaged to sell rather than entertain or fulfill some sort of artistic vision. Yawn. See more 12/23/2016 Now I know WHY this Blu-ray was on sale brand new for $5.00! See more Read all reviews
