Jack

What did I just watch? Jack turned out to be both hilarious and surprisingly serious in its storytelling-but in the best possible way. It's the kind of movie you can enjoy without overthinking-just sit back, switch off your brain, and have a good time.

Sure, I know this isn't how real spy agencies operate, but that didn't stop it from being a whole lot of fun. Definitely give it a go-you won't regret it. In a time when so many films are going all-in on gore, extreme violence, deep growling voices, and endlessly dark themes, Jack stands out by being the complete opposite, which makes it such a refreshing watch.

Now, I will say, the techniques shown in the movie probably shouldn't be demonstrated so clearly-because if someone actually tried them in real life, it could be risky. Still... I can't lie, the way they pulled it off was brilliant, and you'll know exactly what I mean once you see it.

Summary:

This film tried to be deep and important. It started with interesting ideas. But the story got confusing and didn't make sense. The ending was pointless. It wasted its good start. I was let down.

Siddu acted great, and the heroine was perfect. But the writer and story felt crazy. Even though the action and directing were good, the story ruined it. A waste of good performances.

Actual words about the movie

This film really wanted to be important. You could tell it was trying to say something deep and meaningful right from the start. The initial ideas it presented were actually quite interesting, and they made you think the movie was going somewhere worthwhile. It felt like it was building towards a big reveal or a powerful message.

What really stood out were the performances. Siddu's acting was truly great. He brought a lot of emotion and believability to his character. The heroine also played her role perfectly. She understood her character and made her feel real and engaging. You could see the talent of these actors shining through.

However, as the movie went on, the story started to lose its way. It felt like the writer and whoever came up with the story had completely lost their direction. The plot became confusing, and things started happening that didn't make much sense. It was as if they had a good starting point but then didn't know how to connect the dots or where they wanted to end up. It honestly felt like the people behind the story might have been out of their minds, or at least had some very strange ideas that didn't translate well onto the screen.

It's a shame because even the directing was quite good. The movie looked well-made, and the way the scenes were put together was often skillful. The action sequences and stunts were also well-executed and exciting to watch. These elements showed that there was definitely talent involved in making the film.

But in the end, all the good acting, decent directing, and exciting stunts couldn't save the movie from its fundamental flaw: a completely meaningless conclusion. After investing your time and trying to follow the story, the ending just falls flat. It doesn't tie anything together, and it leaves you wondering what the point of it all was. Any potential for a meaningful message or a satisfying resolution is completely lost. It feels like the movie started with a purpose but ultimately ended up saying nothing at all. It's a disappointing experience because you can see the potential that was there, but it was ultimately wasted by a poorly written and nonsensical story.

There are a very few movies in which you can't really tell what's going on with the plot and this is one such movie. From the word go everything feels random and confusing. It felt like everyone was trying too hard to make the audience laugh and it's not working out. The reason I went to watch the movie was because I liked Tillu series and also I am a fan of Bomarillu and always hope one day Bhaskar will make a movie like that again. Totally disappointed. I walked out of the theatre half way through.

I feel it's a waste of time to write about the plot or the actors or anything related to the movie.

What do you get when you bring together atrocious action directionless direction, and a pointless meaningless script no points for guessing

You get the telugu movie 'Jack'

I am a movie buff, and over the decades have sat through very mediocre stuff being passed off as cinema, but the current crop of filmmakers make the bad movies of the yesteryears seem good in comparison

i couldn't sit through 20 minutes of the 'movie' as i had developed a migraine

watch at your own risk of developing dis-taste and disliking for the movies as a genre of entertainment

I am still astounded and dumbfounded at how these movie scripts and ideas get funded in the first place.

Jack (2025) is a Telugu film that may not have hit the mark at the box office, but for some viewers like me, it still offers an enjoyable ride - mainly because of its unique central character and a performance that stands out.

Siddhu Jonnalagadda shines in his role as Pablo Neruda alias "Jack", a passionate R&AW aspirant caught between ambition, identity, and chaos. His portrayal brings a certain charisma and unpredictability to the film that keeps you invested, even when the narrative dips.

The story itself is above average - not groundbreaking, but serviceable. It has enough intrigue and character moments to hold your attention, even if it doesn't always deliver on its potential. The pacing is uneven at times, and some subplots feel undercooked. However, it's Siddhu's energy and screen presence that glue the film together.

Unfortunately, Jack has suffered from a wave of negative reviews and didn't do well commercially, which is disappointing. While it's far from perfect, it's not entirely deserving of the harsh criticism either. The movie has flaws, yes - but also heart.

Verdict: Jack may not be for everyone, but if you appreciate strong performances and are open to a slightly offbeat, character-driven story, it's worth a watch.
