Run Baby Run

Excellent Tamil thriller after a long time. Indian producers now understand about us the silent majority who like to see movies with some substance, not always the masala movie that our kollywood is spurning out in mass.

The movie was well made although the first half took too long to get to the point. Story was good, the suspense was Hitchcock like. So yes let's give us more movies like this.

Very grateful to the writer and the producers. A hint to the producers: Watch Hitchcock's Conflict with Humphrey Bogart and you might get an idea for your next movie. We will be supporting you. Good luck!

Movie started well but it does not carry the momentum, The pace of the movie went down after first 20 mins, After a point you can narrate the story along with director since it is very easily guessable plot. There is lots of well known faces in this movie but they never been utilized properly. RJ Balaji has improved a lot with his acting, few fight scenes were but they did well. Even they tried include the diverting scenes to keep audience guessing but unfortunately it ended up noting. Sam CS music is fine, editing and Cinematography is fine too, Screenplay could have been better and one more good thing about the movie is, It is not a long movie though it is slow.

A good thriller has a strong base plot and then the screenplay takes a neat run around and gets a major turn towards the climax, but what happened here is the first half was neatly executed and post interval the way the plot unfolds seems to be deliberately altered shows immature skill of the director but his intention are good enough for an average thriller... R.j Balaji carries the movie single-handedly with his subtle performance and scores better The rest of the character seems to be just show off, especially the police character seems to be creating hype but ends flat... Overall an average thriller to pass out in time.

What a start and sensational first half ! That phone call at the interval was perfectly timed to make this a memorable second half. But the film just started loosing out as the second half progressed as instead of the policeman given an important role and fight sequences, the joker of a main character, whose the film's biggest weakness , is shown as a hero - just bad storyline in the last half hour to a hour. Even the end doesn't justify the starting sequences at all.

How can they mess up such a great script at the end or towards the end ? What a lame can't act at all main character chosen ? Really messed up a 10/10 first half to a 2/10 second half.

There's a trend in Tamil Cinema where there are sequences of films in the crime genre with almost a similar kinda plot all over where the main characters try to hide the dead body for which they weren't the cause of it and their struggle to hide that dead body is the core of the plot. This kinda plot most probably started off by the Super Deluxe director and it is still continuing even after several years of its release.

And this film in particular took that core part and made the sequences in 0.001x speed which literally dragged down the whole film, in fact, 70% of the movie is just about that and if you remove that sequence then this becomes more like a short film that's not even worth to put it on youtube for free for people to watch. Just give a thought to that thought process and you'll get a gist of how utterly wasteful the movie would have been.

The big question is how come, an actor/director like RJ-Balaji chose this kinda subject.
