In Beeba Boys, Deepa Mehta channels her inner Tarantino for a noteworthy change of pace, one that pursues her career-long inquiry into identity and the immigrant experience with explosive results.
In a film that does have a reliably twisting crime plot with a satisfying denouement, there is too much action to do any of this emotional material justice.
The tone never quite gels, leaving the film an eye-catching but weightless mishmash of hit-and-miss one-liners and bloody yet non-visceral firefights.
It feels like Mehta just wanted to have some fun with an unexplored genre.
While based, to whatever extent, on a true story, it is rigorous in its adherence to genre clichés.
The generic gangster flick gets a Punjabi twist in Beeba Boys, an initially grabby, Vancouver-set tale that quickly runs out of steam.
Audience Reviews for Beeba Boys
A rough and tumble trip through Punjabi gangland in Vancouver. Mehta plays with violence excessively but it aids rather than detracts in this treatment.
