You see, he's apparently actually a good guy, looking out for his own. After an hour of ignoring his hot, superficially interested wife and dealing with a mole (I did say it was generic tat) Zeet wrestles meekly with morality when his son likens him to Megatron. It's not helped that Zeet is so utterly unlikeable - smarmy to the max and boasting an ego that would make Tony Montana blush, yet we're meant to root for him because he's the protagonist. What makes Beeba Boys unique is the Sikh background of the characters, which basically amounts to allow for some bright clothing and the odd stylised visual. No, the film is about gangster Zeet, a dashing movie-star-looking type who's in a gang war with a rival and also struggling with the police and. It's not even about the titular gang of Indo-Canadian gangsters, who after a rather effective opening are shoved into the background and treated very much like the interchangeable dwarves in The Hobbit. Beeba Boys is a comedy thriller that is neither funny nor thrilling. So you know when a film draws the grounding of its central theme from the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron that it's a really baseless piece of tat with nothing at all to say. All fine if you want to sell brightly coloured robot toys, but not quite a worthy basis for meditation on good and evil. It's a story of colourful robots fighting different coloured robots. Rating: Transformers isn't know for its complex relationships or moral ambiguity.
