The Surprise (2015)

Action, Comedy, Romance

Director Mike van Diem is back with his new movie after 18 years. A mother expecting her death, an emotionless son, the movie begins like this. After his mother's death, the hero tries several methods to commit suicide, all in vain. In search of death, he encounters some Indian people who are running a business to help to commit suicide. He meets the heroine there, who is looking for the same. Her company brings radical changes in his emotions; he laughs, become angry, and starts to feel hope. Now he needs to get rid of the killers, or at least delay them. The plot is similar to the Malayalam movie "Kaakkakkum Poochakkum Kallyaanam". The amazing treatment, along with the smaller and bigger "Surprises", make this film a uniquely different experience. There are similarities to the director's previous movie "Karakter": the absence of love--or in this case, he has a glass barrier between him and the real world. The hero grows up without the presence of his father is also a common factor. Beautiful visuals, production design, and the actors are the great highlights of the movie.—Sameir Ali
