Marco

Watched the movie in the theater on the first day and have to say, had mixed feelings. The action scenes, bgm and some of the acting are top notch in Marco. It was also interesting to see mollywood upping the boundaries to unseen levels in some of the action sequences. However, what let's Marco down, big time, is the lack of a good story and hilarious lines in serious situations. There is no logic of rationale to Marco's aggression cos the killing of his brother and their relationship etc. Is not well established. Jagadeesh's character is quite interesting, but who asks fora threesome when he is about to get killed? Unni's dialogue delivery falls flat in certain areas as well. And of course the last action sequences, where Unni gets beaten back and blue and then gets up takes a shower and kills everyone. I mean, really? I hope we malayalees can hold films to a better standard than hailing this movie, cos to be honest, it's a very weak attempt overall. Hope this inspires future movie makers to adopt such visceral action, but with a good 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.

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.

Worst move. Violent & gory just for the sake of it. Don't be mistaken I have watched "I Saw The Devil" & "Old Boy" they are violent cuz the story demands it.

In this case is dumb, stupid and plain nonsensical.

Absolute garbage of a movie. Very disappointed to see such a movie from Malayalam industry where generally most of the movies are amazing in story and acting.

No story at all. Unnecessary bg and slomo, over hyped.

Pointless killings gore. Absolute torture of 2 hours and 24 mins.

1st half you still feel okay it's leading some where. But the 2nd half wow During the entire time I was scratching my head thinking just when will this end.

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.
