The story about winning the Millionaire show's top prize started with a funny flashback that explained how one question was so easy to answer.
After that the movie degenerated into violent flashbacks, including one cruel scene when a child's eyes are gouged out with a spoon by his adult "slaveowner", so he will earn more money as a street beggar.
There was too much violence, torture, killings -- maybe that's what people like these days. But I don't think the world needs more violence -- there's more than enough in the news. I give it thumbs down in spite of the predictible happy ending.
