Marco

The makers delivered exactly what they said they would and made the movie as violent as possible. Typical revenge driven storyline centered around a family, nothing out of the ordinary. Pretty weak script when it comes to majority of dialogues, but can be compensated with the performances and overall vibe that the film gives throughout the movie. Background score was phenomenal the whole way through. Coming to the performances, Unnimukundan was incredible and is perfectly fit for the role and he convincingly pulls of all the action scenes, Jagdish and Siddique delivered incredibly with some drawbacks that could have been solved with proper dialogues. Action scenes were mind blowing, and looked to be on par with some of the greatest action hollywood films (not kidding) with incredible cinematography and shots.

Now the main part, the film is a gorefest especially in the 2nd half. No other Indian film comes anywhere near when it comes to the violence that this movie contains and is STRICTLY NOT FOR KIDS, PREGNANT WOMEN OR FAINT HEARTED PEOPLE. Extremely brutal torture scenes, murders, slashings and brutal injuries the whole way through. Overall an incredible action packed movie that could be the new benchmark for not even Malayalam but Indian action movies.

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.

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.

First of all , the story is straight up mediocre and a common story from old movie . It's the fight scenes and last 30 minutes that made the movie lit.. The cinematography, Camera , editing , and especially music is top notch..

People were claiming it to be violent from beginning to end and i bet they haven't watched Hollywood, Indonesian french movies like inside , Night comes for us etc ... There is a lot of space for improvement in case of fight as most fight was using hand..i was expecting something like raid , but was just normal fight scene with some violence here and there .. Huge let down is from cgi team.. when a person is attacked using knife , blood is shown splattering which is clearly cgi and we can see it.. could've used real blood or atleast a better cgi.. Could ve used the chainsaw scenes better.. Felt like wasted opportunity. The stair case fight was technically and stylistically great , but action wise not good.hits people with something and shows fake cgi blood. And most scenes are done in dark to cover up bad cgi .

Some dialogues were cringe, and unnecessary.. some dialogues were fire.. It's actually a mixed bag saved by the intensely disturbing last 30 minutes. I don't think people would sit and watch the portion before the last 30 minutes when it's released on Netflix.

When it says intermission, i was like.. what.. nothing happened so far.. that's how bad the story is.. could've been better . But i wouldn't mind if from the beginning till end the movie was the same as the last 30 minutes..

Casting were all good.. unni did great.. Could've used more props in fight scenes than using bare hands.. Could've used prosthetic body and fake blood to show cutting and stabbing than using cgi .

Anyway recommend watching for the last 30 minutes.

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.
