Review – Whiplash

I will start with JK Simmons, the anti-hero of this great inspiring movie. Terence Fletcher a character which we love for his dedication but as well as hate for his brutal ways. His performance is flawless and he deserved the Academy Award.  I have read that the film was completed in just 19 days. The story is very simple but highly impacting. A sense of tension remains in your mind throughout the film. It is a film which will be in your mind for days.  Teller also did excellent in the acting department.
