Watched the US-Bangladesh joint venture spy action thriller movie MR 9 today .. MR 9 is our very own desi James Bond "Masud Rana" .. The movie is based on the first book of the Rana series, "Dhongsho Pahar" (1966), by Qazi Anwar Hussain!
ABM Sumon as Masud Rana looks the part, but except action scenes he did not get to show his acting prowess .. Some of the action sequences was good, the cinematography was top notch, background score was excellent but the movie was too much slow-paced .. At some point it became boring .. It really needed to be fast-paced .. The acting was just about ok .. The makers clearly lost the vision of Qazi Anwar Hussain somewhere down the line!!
The movie was not upto the mark .. But atleast now a Bangladeshi movie has joined the Spyverse!!!
I grew up reading the spy-thriller books, written by Qazi Anwar Hussain, about the legendary international espionage agent Masud Rana (MR 9) of the Bangladesh Counter Intelligence .. From school life till now I just love reading the Masud Rana books!!!!
