The Water Diviner Movie Review

Ratings:2/5 Review By: Mihir Fadnavis Site:Mid-day.com

It does not help that the secondary cast consists of Kurylenko, Isabel Lucas and the vastly unlikable Jai Courtney – they're all more models than actors and placing them in a heavily emotional film, requiring them to render serious 'acting', falls flat. Perhaps, it's best for Crowe to get back to doing tentpole blockbusters. In any case, we'll probably see him alongside Affleck again in 'Batman vs Superman'

Then there is the blossoming love story between Joshua and Ayshe that is telegraphed from the minute they inhabit the same frame. Ayshe has her own issues but her effect on Joshua occasionally steers Diviner into mush-fest territory. Some parts also resemble a tourism promo for 'Exotic Turkey'. This is not to say, however, that the camera work capturing old Istanbul (Andrew Lesnie, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) is not gorgeous. The Gallipoli battlefield scenes are also haunting. Truth be told, Crowe's undeniable screen presence adds gravity to the film and he manages to make you empathize with his grief and the doggedness of his search, against all odds.

Russell Crowe rewinds his Gladiator days of heroism in the film, playing the quiet yet strong father. Olga Kurylenko as Ayshe, in her limited role should have been given more screen time. Yilmaz Erdogan as Major Hassan befriends Joshua and enforces Crowe’s character in the film. The film pays respect to soldiers and their families who were exposed to the horrors of war, and that’s where the film succeeds. Russell Crowe, the director outplays the Russell Crowe actor in this film. Watch it for the performance of the entire cast.
