If you are not prejudiced towards Sunny Deol, then you are going to love this movie if you watch it. I donno if it's copied or not, but it's well taken. It's sad that some deserving films don't get to do well at the box office.The movie is a thriller that revolves around a corrupt lawyer turned good lawyer who retires from service,and gets involved in a series of murders he hasn't committed, when he dons the identity as the author of a book which he doesn't actually write. The investigating officer in the case is played by Sunny.The rest is about how and if Arjun is able to get out of the melee he is in.Direction is excellent, songs are noteworthy, acting is good, and the climax is unique. If you've watched Sunny Deol films before,you'll see that.9 stars for FOX

This film starts off right away (my sister and I started watching it together and she went to the kitchen for 5 minutes and swore that I had fast forwarded it when she returned -- I hadn't and a quick rewind proved that) if you blink you might miss an important clue.But all that said, the greatness of the film is ruined by pointless banal songs and lackluster dance numbers. Bollywood should learn that not every genre of their films should include songs. Everything kind of starts to go downhill from the introduction of the first song and the movie itself becomes a predictable variation of Hollywood's thriller 'The Taking of Pelham 123'. The suspense is sucked out of the entire film by the addition of pointless scenes, especially the ones including Sagarika Ghatge(Chak de India) who is supposed to be a lawyer but ends up playing to role of detective. Sunny Deol, Udita Goswami and Rituparna Sen Gupta co-star but the film belongs to Arjun Rampal whose acting seems to have truly improved these days.

Fox promises to be a mystery-suspense-thriller. The performances of all the lead actors is the best part of the movie. Had Deepak spent more time tightening the loose ends, Fox would have turned out to be an intelligent thriller. ﮭ Arjun Rampal:: Post Rock On, this guy has mastered the grammar of performance. He delivers at ease.ﮭ Sunny Deol:: Makes an entry just before the first-half and it is sad to see Sunny to be cut-down to such short roles. He should seriously re- invent himself. His character is pretty much the same we have seen umpteen number of times earlier.ﮭ Sagarika Ghatke:: The "Chak De" is pretty glamorous and deserved more room to showcase her performance. ﮭ Udita:: Nothing great - safe to say "usual".ﮭ Vipul Gupta:: Perhaps his character was simply loud and used for diversion.On technical front, the direction is good barring the jerky camera movements at few places.While the audience expect "clever as a fox", Deepak Tijori delivers "crazy like a fox". Recommended only if aired on telly.

Based on an awesome movie - murder of crows (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133985/).As I started watching the movie, it kept coming to my mind that there is an awesome movie/novel previously made and after 1 hour of search on Google finally recalled the movie name - murder of crows. I think this is a great film coming out of bollywood, but the ending could have been much better.Great story but I think the creators were thinking about the Hollywood movie and creating a bollywood movie. I am sure if this was converted to a more desi flick, it would have attracted much larger audience. It had a mixed flavor of both bollywood and Hollywood. Though I am not able to put finger on what exactly.I am sure people will enjoy this movie - even though you have seen the Hollywood version. :)
