Run Baby Run

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Source: Hotstar

The movie starts as a good thriller and maintained the pace very well with continuous events. After one point it is so predictable and lost its pace. The initial suicide scene itself explained the story and reason behind the murder.

Some scenes are so spoon feeding and irritates more. Too much of RJ Balaji presence (especially in the cemetery scene) spoils the fun.

Nothing new in the motive and villain. When the motive becomes so simple, the whole thrill scenes becomes like puppet show.

This could have been better in lot other ways. Excepts some good scenes, this one is easily avoidable.

A good thriller has a strong base plot and then the screenplay takes a neat run around and gets a major turn towards the climax, but what happened here is the first half was neatly executed and post interval the way the plot unfolds seems to be deliberately altered shows immature skill of the director but his intention are good enough for an average thriller... R.j Balaji carries the movie single-handedly with his subtle performance and scores better The rest of the character seems to be just show off, especially the police character seems to be creating hype but ends flat... Overall an average thriller to pass out in time.

Excellent Tamil thriller after a long time. Indian producers now understand about us the silent majority who like to see movies with some substance, not always the masala movie that our kollywood is spurning out in mass.

The movie was well made although the first half took too long to get to the point. Story was good, the suspense was Hitchcock like. So yes let's give us more movies like this.

Very grateful to the writer and the producers. A hint to the producers: Watch Hitchcock's Conflict with Humphrey Bogart and you might get an idea for your next movie. We will be supporting you. Good luck!

There's a trend in Tamil Cinema where there are sequences of films in the crime genre with almost a similar kinda plot all over where the main characters try to hide the dead body for which they weren't the cause of it and their struggle to hide that dead body is the core of the plot. This kinda plot most probably started off by the Super Deluxe director and it is still continuing even after several years of its release.

And this film in particular took that core part and made the sequences in 0.001x speed which literally dragged down the whole film, in fact, 70% of the movie is just about that and if you remove that sequence then this becomes more like a short film that's not even worth to put it on youtube for free for people to watch. Just give a thought to that thought process and you'll get a gist of how utterly wasteful the movie would have been.

The big question is how come, an actor/director like RJ-Balaji chose this kinda subject.

Not worthy. I mean they tried their best, yet the movie is same old sloppy mediocre whodunnit story, that didn't do any justice to any actors or the title. I mean why Isha Talwar, Aiswarya Rajesh, Smrithi Venkat? Any random actors would have played the same.

The movie is focused on one protagonist only. All other characters doesn't have anything to do with the story. RJ Balaji mistook this one.

Though the antagonist identity was revealed only at climax, the movie has lot of "WH" questions than answers. The movie didn't pick any pace moves in same speed throughout the end. Thank God no songs.
