Arun Matheswaran makes a solid directorial debut! [+70%]
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!
