Cobra

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Sony Liv Source: Nil

Movie starts very well and the first half was interesting for me and has hidden story line not revealed fully. Both hit songs utilised in the first half and it helped very much for the movie flow. After the interval, the hidden story lines are revealed one by one till the climax.

The biggest problem is the second half is so confusing and abrupt climax. There is not much scope for entertainment, just movie goes in its flow and ends... Vikram was outstanding in first half and looked tired in the second half.

Movie is not bad, definitely one time watchable. ARR marks his presence in songs and in action blocks....

Firstly there is no Built in English subtitles so it's impossible to understand foreign fan like us. Secondly they forcefully inserted tamil language in the English dialogues. They've made a great mistake by not adding the sub , I admit the story is good but the makers should think about the non tamil region .Also forcefully inserted Tamil is so disgusting. Hence, it's my humble request that the English subtitled version should be Released as soon as possible so that we, the foreign viewers enjoy the masterpiece of Vikram sir . We'll be very thankful to the director and all the people who were attached with this film.

Fresh out of Ajay Gnanamuthu's Cobra, and it honestly feels like I watched 2 entirely different movies pre and post interval. We start off with a somewhat underworld assassin crime thriller of sorts, which while over the top at moments, had its fair share of enjoyable bites. And then with the interval, we have what feels like an entirely new movie; one that feels like every other wannabe-posh Tamil action movie, where some characters already established in the first half start acting nothing like it in the second, and some more being entirely sidelined making us wonder why they were even included in the first place.

I wouldn't say Cobra is a bad movie, nor that its not enjoyable, but it's not groundbreaking in any way. It just gets ridiculously over the top with every passing minute, building up to a mind numbingly lazy and disappointing climax. Technically too this movie has a lot of weaknesses. The music is very easily forgettable, which sad given how such a statement could even be said about an ARR composed soundtrack. The VFX was painfully apparent in some scene. The makeup got somewhat cheesy, never leaving the uncanny valley; where you know you're not looking at an actual human face, but a heavily pasted prosthetic. And even certain shot selections seemed questionable.

Being as critical as I am about this movie is only because I engaged with it enough to care about its own internal consistencies. It's certainly not a movie you'll ever regret watching in a theatre, but it's not one you'll miss out on if you don't either.

A very boring movie. 1st half is average. However, 2nd half tests ur patience.

Some of the character selection is not good. The executions are done not in a detailed manner just like hollywood films leaving many loopholes and questions in the script. The VFX is too bad. The BGM score is also not so impressive. Not even one of the song was shot properly.

Some of the scenes have no logic at all. Vikram acting is good. But again it's kind of repetitive from his past films. Too dramatic. Entire flashback should have been cut shorted by several minutes easily. It is confusion sometimes.

A better cast, clean screenplay is missing.

Once again Vikram gave dedicative performance in a average movie . Story was good but screenplay was poor and clumsy . First half , had some intresting assassination sequence , romance part was totally meh and interval twist was good . Second half was totally clumsy writing . Direction wasn't upto the mark . Main positive was Interrogation room hallucination scene particularly Vikram gave a impressive performance in that scene . ARR music was good and eventhough songs were good its placement was poor in the movie . Technically , editing was poor and visually not appealing for ME . Finally , they tried something different in commercial cinema unfortunately misfired .
