"Joshua," helmed by Director Gvm, is a colossal disappointment that squandered two hours of my life. The film is a relentless barrage of mindless fights from start to finish, with the lead actor's exaggerated and cringe-worthy overacting dominating every scene. His forced intensity and melodramatic expressions made me wish I had opted for a wrestling match with guns instead of enduring this shallow spectacle. Director Gvm's lack of storytelling depth or character development left me feeling empty and unsatisfied, as the film prioritized style over substance. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of "Joshua."
Despite its intriguing premise, the film fails to live up to expectations due to poor direction and uninspired writing. While the action scenes are commendably choreographed and the experimental music by Karthick adds some flavor, the film struggles to engage viewers beyond these moments.
Krishna Kulasekharan delivers a standout performance, bringing depth to his character and serving as a saving grace amidst the film's shortcomings. However, the rest of the cast falls short, lacking the necessary acting prowess to elevate the material.
Director GVM's simplistic and stale writing results in a lackluster narrative that fails to captivate. The film's pacing suffers, particularly during conversational scenes where the dialogue fails to spark interest.
Despite attempts to emulate the success of "John Wick" with a Desi twist, "Lost Potential" ultimately falls flat. While it may appeal to fans of action-packed sequences, its overall execution leaves much to be desired. Viewers are advised to approach with tempered expectations and to focus on the few positives the film has to offer.

For people with class , this will be a good movie , but won't able to win the heart of ordinary audience who's seeking for masala , enjoyed this movie even though performance of some actors are arguable, however in a package it's a good movie and definitely better than captain miller or ennai noki payum thotta.
You will be seating at edge of your seat with the nail biting chasing sequences and the last 30 minutes of the movie is very good , there is some unwanted character bindings in the movie which can be avoided
In overall it's a good attempt by GVM to stay away from usual template of indian movies.

Gvm has gone back to childhood days of learning. Not a gvm film and looks like he is forced to make this film. Story is simple. Go fight and save and it's less than required characters in IMDb ! Where is the story only fight and romance is there.. don't waste your time unnecessarily. No acting only action Joshua dint kill the villians butnkilled the audience. No essense of gvm moves or his style. The man who made cop movies is forced to shoot a non talented Hitman films. Only Krishna kulasekaran acts and rest are like kids fight with guns. Varun throughout the movie same expression . Joshua watch at your own risk !!
Didn't watch a film such this film authentic since it reminded me Tamil version of Jones Wicks though it met 100%. The action of Varun is worth to be appreciated for it is pettish triumph to Hollywood
Cultured action movie. Exaggeration is neglected through out the film.love affairs and romantic scenes in the manner of Hollywood which I truly expect in the movies. John wicks thriller movie of killing with gun but this film slightly followed the steps of Jone Wicks with Tamil conversation fights scenery.behind the antagonist secrecy is induced towards climax. Finally shocked climax is that her own father is the villain of the born child.
