My quick rating - 5,6/10. Although the movie is somehwat pretentious and tries very hard to push an agenda of religion, politics...probably more than just that really, it still is somewhat effective. The characters are fairly unique to one another which helps in the diversity, and the situation of being under siege with people that are not all similar. This is also very imoprtant to the cultural aspect of this movie. Unfortunately the acting is really hit or miss. The same characters that do a fine job in one scene, will be downright asleep in another. The uneveness gets a bit distracting. Now classifying this movie as action is slightly a stretch, but I couldn't really peg it elsewhere. To judge on the action, you'll be disappointed since this isn't a "black Hawk Down" or "Bengazi" type flick. This is much more focused on the interactions of the players, and how they gel in a no win situation. If it wasn't for the flaws I mentioned, and those I am about to, such as weird camera work that seems out of place, and scenes that really could've been left on the cutting room floor to get this under 2 hours. One last gripe, which I think supports my first statement completely: Changing the name of the film from "One Less God" to "Mumbai Siege" for the release. To me that sounds like a major copout to attract attention to it being an all out action fest, when in reality, that is far from what this is. Too many flaws to reach much higher than a six, but it leaves with a quote that I personally think was brilliant. "If our children are dying for the sake of our beliefs, don't you think it is time for our beliefs to begin dying for the sake of our children? "If our children keep dying for the sake of our beliefs, isn't it time our beliefs started dying for the sake of our children? "
