Rocky

Frist of any other things great direction mades along with great frames , great casting , great screen play. Although it's average and same story but what makes it a must see movie is the way it presented and the casting who made exactly like characters.

It's a shame that the only way print available right now for this is heavily censored. The glorious arthouse violence is too cut up. But even with so many abrupt cuts, it is still an ultraviolent introspection of violence that is inherent in us. Also feels like there's more inner meaning that is related to the Tamil struggle in Sri Lanka that I may not have understood completely. But this director has made such a beautiful film with a small budget, I'm excited to watch his other films. Got to check out Saani Kaayidham and also Captain Miller from the theater this weekend. Hope they will release the uncut version some day.

The plot is a simple revenge story. However, what stands out is the visual presentation. For the majority of the film, it seems like the characters are minuscule in this whole world. The director did not get into the depth of backstory of the revenge saga. The background score is apt to the scenes and the single shots and action sequences are realistic. Do watch if you like realistic cinema experience!!

This film takes a different approach to cliche revenge stories. The making especially is the wow factor on this one. The director and crew have managed to pull something out of the ordinary boring revenge stories we have been seeing since forever and turned it in to something wow altogether. The narration, background scores, cinematography and the cast have definitely put in their best work yet on this one. We don't get to see awesome dramatic moments like the mainstream movies , but we will definitely never forget this one after watching. The story telling is pretty natural and engaging in a way that the audience would watch the whole film with their eyes glued on to the screen pretty much. The film shows us the beauty of wide angle frames to the fullest , one of the few films in recent Tamil cinema, to make use of wide angle shots in a way that it adds lot of perspective in an engaging manner. Would totally suggest this movie to anyone who thinks cinema is a one man job may it be the actor or the director , cause this will prove you otherwise!!!

Arun Matheswaran bolsters a barebones plot with scintillating visuals in a bloodthirsty film where Korean neo-noir revenge drama meets Tamil context and sensibilities. It feels like the film is set in a universe of its own, where the lives of only these characters matter. Darbuka Siva's score punctuates the crackling set-pieces and the emotional drama in between. There's not so much a plot to begin with - it just serves the purpose of bringing us to specific points where Vasanth Ravi has to beat down dozens of thugs or stylishly pull off a bullet-fest. While I admire the director's sense of craft, I'd also like to see him put flesh on the bones when it comes to the writing. Worth a watch, nonetheless!
