12th Man

I felt this as a decent thriller. Kept me engaged till the end. Story is not perfect, there is slight lag in the beginning and some confusion towards the end, but still keeps us in edge of the seat.

I watched the movie without watching any reviews, so it was a good experience. If you are planning to watch it, I would recommend watching it without watching any YouTube reviews as I seen some spoilers in some reviews.

Its a classic whodunnit movie with right amount of twist and turns. Movie is well made and most of the cast have done good with their performances though some standout as too comical to me. If you like a classic mystery whodunnit gener movies you will not be disappointed by this. Some of the twists are predictable but overall the movie is entertaining. It has some inspiration from Perfect Strangers movie .

While I admire Jeethu Joseph's presentation and choice of transitions used (except on a few occasions where they look dreadful), 12th Man takes too long to get to its boring conclusion. There's no knockout punch in this whodunnit - just the same old tropes (like debt, adultery, and cover-ups) rehashed. Since almost 75% of the film plays out in a hall, many of the twists are in the form of expository dialogue (especially over phone calls). I wish all the detailing that has gone into the script to modernize an "Agatha Christie novel"-like setting translated into more edge-of-the-seat moments. 12th Man's script is too mediocre and derivative (referring to 2016's Perfect Strangers) to leave a lasting impact. Plus, there's no Antony Perumbavoor cameo to make memes out of!

P. S - Someone please let A10's scriptwriters know that double entendre doesn't qualify for comedy anymore.

The layers in the movie are incredible,definitely an edge of the seat thriller. The first half was a bit slow paced but I never felt bored. Definitely recommended.

Yet another winner from Jeetu Joseph and Mohanlal. Gripping. First 30 minutes seem to be a little made up. But then, once tue questioning begins, its all the way Mohanlal and Jeetu Joseph and their sheer brilliance. Got me hooked to the screen again. Expected nothing less from the pair. Watch it and enjoy!
