Fighting's great and the visuals are pretty cool. Love that it starts with him wallowing. It was bloody and violent. Story's a simple revenge story and the character's basically an Indian john wick. Except someone didn't kill his dog, they killed his mom.
At some point, I began to feel bored, but considering this was the third consecutive movie I watched and it was well past midnight, fatigue might have played a role. Plus, there were people vaping in the theater, which was annoying.
It's a cool movie, it feels like they focused on making this quite cool, prioritizing style. Like Why did he take off his mask just before entering the building towards the end. Sometimes they have guns, other times they don't; whichever option was convenient for the plot or cool factor in that moment. Also that bathroom scene, that was the most slippery gun ever lol. The little heist operation was over the top, but it was a cool as hell sequence. My biggest gripe is that nobody noticed this guy staring, Because he was doing it so much.
While the action sequences were impressive, the pacing felt uneven, possibly exacerbated by my own drowsiness towards the end. There were a lot of slow scenes, not necessarily in slow motion, but featuring characters standing around, almost like dramatic hero shots.
I think the movies did great especially as a debutant director, I like it but don't love it as much as some people do. Probably because Dev Patel was a great lead, plus he directed it, it was a visual spectacle and the actions gripping. However, while I felt like the story aimed for some depth with its political undertones, trans aspect, the mother, certain moments and conversations failed to evoke a significant emotional response from me that they demanded.
Despite my reservations about the film prioritizing coolness over logic at times, I still enjoyed it due to its stylish presentation and exhilarating action scenes. Hearing what others say, possible that others' admiration for the movie stems heavily from their love for Dev Patel and the challenges he overcame to bring it to fruition. But it is still actually a pretty cool movie.
