Tuner tells the story of a man suffering from an auditory condition who turns his weakness into a strength. We have not had films on a piano tuner and hence, one gets drawn into the world of the protagonist. The crime drama element adds to the tension. The love story is sweet. However, this switch from crime to romance is unsettling and not seamless. Also, despite the subject, the film never goes on a high. The protagonist's arc is improper and the development in the pre-climax is puzzling. Leo Woodall (Niki) is let down by the writing but performs well. Havana Rose Liu (Ruthie) delivers a stupendous performance, and Dustin Hoffman is adorable in a supporting part. Lior Raz (Uri) is suitable for the antagonist's role. Nissan Sakira (Benny), Gil Cohen (Yoni) and Tovah Feldshuh (Marla) are fair. All in all, Tuner is an average flick.

My rating - ** ½ out of 5!
