If there were an award for non-thrilling thrillers, 8x10 would have been a strong contender. The basic idea of a murder mystery is to take you to the edge of the seat ever so often. 8x10 hardly ever does. In an overly conscious attempt to keep things low-key and restrained, Kukunoor dishes out a limp and listless film, nothing more than a middling detective serial on TV. All it boasts of is some breathtaking, but largely uncalled-for Canadian landscape and good cinematography. Jai (a self-conscious Akshay) is an environment protection force guy, whose rich father is bumped off in their glam yacht. Jai has the ability to enter a photograph and go back to the moment it was clicked. So he enters the picture taken minutes before his father’s death in a bid to find the murderer. For help there is a maverick Hyderabadi-speaking detective (irritating Javed Jaaferi). The dialogue is turgid and the acting, even by seasoned performers, never above mediocre.
