    Joshua killed me as well!

    A contract killer turned bodyguard trying to protect his love interest from international bad elements.

    Though the movie had considerable budget, the execution was terrible.

    Listing them in points:

    1. Acting was horrible, especially of Varun's. There was no expression at all, with so much stunt training going on, I think he skipped basic acting lessons.

    2. The movie is basically a copy of Hitman's bodyguard, Bodyguard series (Netflix), John Wick, Bourne and 100 other movies. Just made with low quality.

    3. GVM, in the name of so called "classy movie" has made this movie with cringe filled redundant scenes. The generous use of "English" in his movie doesn't mean it's synonymous to international standards or quality. One easily gets distracted from a scene in just a couple of minutes.

    4. Lot of logic loopholes with forced and predictable scenes. In fact a movie need not have a well defined good story, even a simple story could be well executed in a good way through screenplay, cinematography and dialogues but this movie didn't have any of those things

    At the end it is just an action movie overshadowed by terrible acting and poor story. Watch if you don't want to use your brain much.

    Unexpected Tamil movie

    Didn't watch a film such this film authentic since it reminded me Tamil version of Jones Wicks though it met 100%. The action of Varun is worth to be appreciated for it is pettish triumph to Hollywood Cultured action movie. Exaggeration is neglected through out the film.love affairs and romantic scenes in the manner of Hollywood which I truly expect in the movies. John wicks thriller movie of killing with gun but this film slightly followed the steps of Jone Wicks with Tamil conversation fights scenery.behind the antagonist secrecy is induced towards climax. Finally shocked climax is that her own father is the villain of the born child.

    Classy movie for classy people

    For people with class , this will be a good movie , but won't able to win the heart of ordinary audience who's seeking for masala , enjoyed this movie even though performance of some actors are arguable, however in a package it's a good movie and definitely better than captain miller or ennai noki payum thotta.

    You will be seating at edge of your seat with the nail biting chasing sequences and the last 30 minutes of the movie is very good , there is some unwanted character bindings in the movie which can be avoided

    In overall it's a good attempt by GVM to stay away from usual template of indian movies.

    A worthy try for fresh stunts sequence...!!!

    GVM is a brand in Tamil cinema and his films have always been in limelight at times of release & indeed a notable filmaker of our times...This project was designed way back a few years for Thalapathy Vijay as "YOHAN" giving a "BOND" texture for Tamil cinema after a long time...

    Action films aren't new to him but this kind of a "Bond" film is a fresh attempt. Just like in the Bond movies you get the name Bond repeatedly heard, here the name Joshua keeps ringing all the time... The romance fizzles out as soon as it begins and it gets reignited too without any spark. GVM who has masterd with romance scores a zero here...What is amusing is the fact that there are so many action blocks that get underappreciated for its illogical writing...

    Varun does well in action scenes, but then falters when it comes to emotions & performance...Raahei looks confused most of the times and her part is just a running woman behind Varun... Krishna is good in a short role & DD does a decent job...

    SR. Kathir's cinematography works in parts. Background score by Karthik is effective and the songs though decent do not work on the screen...

    Overall JOSHUA is a better package for action lovers & arguably far better than "ENNAI NOKI PAUUM THOTA" & "ACHAM YENBADHU MADAMAIDA"

    Not worth it

    Gvm has gone back to childhood days of learning. Not a gvm film and looks like he is forced to make this film. Story is simple. Go fight and save and it's less than required characters in IMDb ! Where is the story only fight and romance is there.. don't waste your time unnecessarily. No acting only action Joshua dint kill the villians butnkilled the audience. No essense of gvm moves or his style. The man who made cop movies is forced to shoot a non talented Hitman films. Only Krishna kulasekaran acts and rest are like kids fight with guns. Varun throughout the movie same expression . Joshua watch at your own risk !!
