KNOCK OUT is a watchable fare but its English title and also Sanjay Dutt's box-office pull which is minimal currently will act as deterrents.

This might be difficult to imagine, but Knock Out - which heavily borrows from Colin Farrell’s Phone Booth - slowly morphs into a patriotic drama much like our Naseeruddin Shah-starrer A Wednesday.

The title of the film is a complete misnomer as it doesn't give out any idea whatsoever around the theme of 'Knock Out' which is that of black money being accumulated by politicians across the country. Director Mani Shankar keeps it all simple though without getting into the finest details around the entire network. One can't blame it for that because he did try to do that in his last release 'Mukhbiir' which was a dismal failure.

Yes, you are knocked out with Knock Out; knocked out of your sense and logic. It screams useless and basically, KO can go down as one of 2010′s dumbest films.

By no means is Knock Out original, except perhaps for the message it conveys. Mani Shankar does a mix of Phone Booth, A Wednesday and the formula behind his previous films to create this one.

After debuting with a good film like 16 December, director Mani Shankar could not create the same impact with the films that followed -- Rudraksh, Tango Charlie and Mukhbir.

* There''s talk that Knock Out is a blatant copy of Phone Booth. If you''ve watched the original, why watch its clone? * You rush to a nearby cineplex only if the film excites you and in this case, the buzz is missing. * Sanjay Dutt - the lead actor - has
