Marco

After the success of films like KGF and Animal, it seems filmmakers are trying to capitalize on the hype, often to the detriment of quality. This trend is evident in Marco, a movie with a weak storyline and glaring lapses in logic. In one scene, the protagonist watches helplessly as a minor villain slaughters an entire group in front of him. Yet moments later, he is miraculously healed and manages to wipe out the antagonist's entire gang. Scenes like this are sprinkled throughout the movie, making it feel more comical than compelling. The excessive violence is portrayed so casually that it feels more like watching the butchering of livestock than a cinematic experience. Overall, Marco fails to deliver anything meaningful, relying solely on gratuitous violence and nonsensical plot points. I found myself laughing at the absurdity more than being engaged in the story.

Rating - 3.75/5

A one of a kind action violence drama movie unprecedented in Malayalam.

The plot of the story revolves around the gold syndicate and how the business rivalry among the cartel develops to a personal rivalry whereby the title character Marco retaliates forms the base for the storyline.

Haneef Adeni's idea of developing a standalone movie of a savage character from his filmography deserves appreciation. He has given umpteen action moments in the movie for the title character but falls flat in developing a strong screenplay which is evident through few cliche sequences in the first half. The latter half is an absolute banger with swagging action sequences, violence and bloodshed.

Unni Mukundan has given an outstanding performance as Marco the monster through hardcore action sequences and violence and proves he is an absolute showstopper delivering one of his best performance. Jagadish has given a splendid delivery of the character but gives an impression that the potential of a versatile actor was unutilised showing minor flaws of the character arc. Impressive performances by Siddique,Kabir Duhan Singh,Anson Paul & Abhimanyu S Thilakan,giving ample avenue for performance through his debut movie.

Brilliant capture by Chandru Selvaraj bolstered with Ravi Basrur's lightning BGM's. Shameer Muhammed has precisely trimmed the movie to an action entertainer. Special mention to Kalai Kingson for the dashing actions and the colorist Srik Varier for the brilliant color toning. Hats off to Shareef Muhammed for being the frontrunner in delivering a hardcore violence movie in Malayalam. Please don't leave the theatres before the end credits.

A must watch movie on big screens to witness the technical brilliance and extreme action violence sequences. Period.

Marco is one of such movies that I went just because of its recent hype on social media mentioning it the most violent movie of the year. They were wrong. It's not only the most violent movie of the year but it must be one of the most violent movies in the history of Indian Cinema.

This Unni Mukundan starrer is nothing but a killing crusade in which it is impossible for anyone to keep the count of the number of people getting killed. Last such movie that I watched was Kill released earlier this year, but there is a huge difference between both. While Kill has proper plot and emotional connect this one is just bloody, violent, and brutal. But that's what the makers promised, so no complain.

Technically it's a masterpiece. Killing scenes will seem crazy real and will give you chills while the background score takes the thrill to next level. It's a fast moving chaotic kill fest that is not recommended for light hearted audience, especially Kids.

The movie's action sequences were truly exceptional, standing out as the film's strongest aspect. Each scene was crafted with precision and delivered high-intensity moments that kept me on the edge of my seat. The climax was another highlight, uniquely designed and breaking away from conventional Bollywood tropes, which added a refreshing twist to the narrative.

However, the movie fell short when it came to the emotional depth of the story. There was a noticeable lack of connection with the characters, and the storyline felt underdeveloped, making it hard to fully invest in the plot. While the action and climax were impressive, the weak storytelling left the overall experience feeling incomplete.

Despite its flaws, the movie is worth watching for its action and unique climax. I'd rate it a 7/10 for its efforts in pushing boundaries, even if the story didn't fully deliver.

This movie is a gory movie disguised as an action film. It has a lot of scenes which are gory but barely qualifies as an action film. The action sequences are poor and incomplete. Very over hyped. Watch at your own risk.

Lot of slow motion scenes and the dialogue writing is very weak. The story line makes no sense with below par villains and acting. Unni mukundan has done an average acting. The hype created is unjustified and makes me feel cheated by the movie critics. The movie is genuinely gory and that is the only thing which has been delivered as promised. Utterly disappointed and expect more from the audience. The IMDb rating doesn't do justice to the people who go to watch on the basis of the reviews.
