PATTIYAL - MOVIE REVIEWHE SAID:
The Mafia type assassin story has finally come to Kollywood. It became such a fashionable thing to make movies about mobsters, in Bollywood. Mobsters rule Bollywood in real life as well. South India was relatively free from such criminals for the longest time.
However recent events like the controversy in Kanchipuram have spotlighted the existence of criminal elements willing to kill for money.
The movie is very mediocre. The narration is choppy. The actors are inexperienced.
Have you ever noticed how movies never show people living by the gun/sword emerging successful? Must be some kind of code. It would not do any good to show killers and assassins living a cool life and getting away with murder. As it is, God knows how many youngsters living in slums all over Tamil Nadu are going to go away from this movie thinking how great it would be to become assassins.
Pooja and Padmapriya have done good jobs as the girlfriends of the heroes.
Nothing special, in spite of having a unique theme.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 4.
SHE SAID:
The first half of the movie is not bad and raises expectations. However, the second half is a total screw up.
Bharat has done a good job. Arya would be better off if he does less action roles and more of romance. Pooja is good. Padmapriya is adequate. Her performance is a step down from her excellent debut in "Thavamai Thavam Irunthu".
Worth watching once, if for nothing else than to show kids today that there are no short cuts to success.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give this movie a 5.
