The Rough and Tumble

Synopsis:

A brief glimpse into the life of of P.I..


Our Review:

Isn't is obvious to assume that life of a detective is fun and exciting? We cannot help it for the number of movies that has influenced to assume so. Rough & tumble portrays the otherwise reality. While it is seldom as "cool" as most outsiders imagine it to be one has to be okay with being alone for long stretches of time. Is it always possible to enjoy being alone and sitting in your car for long stretches of time waiting on something to happen that might never happen? To be able to consistently pay attention to finer details and be ready for almost anything. But unlike filmy effect, this job like any job, has its boring moments too. Life as a private detective is usually challenging, often exciting and at times dangerous. But no two days are exactly the same and that could help to stay motivated and enthusiastic about the work.

To be constantly invading a persons privacy and inching around after them, watching and capturing every move they make might get to some people and make them feel horrid. But for that, if you don’t mind that part of the job, it’s definitely rewarding. The effect of capturing the entire movie is black and white, the background score and cinematography is commendable.
