    Excellent🔥🔥🔥

    First half greater than second half.

    Over all movie was mind blowing.

    Vijay acting was superb he try to show his different face compare to his previous movies.

    Flash back scenes was little down but overall movie was suberb.

    Film making was marvellous lokesh done his part well.

    Anirudh's music was a backbone of this movie.

    All actors done their parts well.

    Thrisha and vijay chemistry was fantastic.

    I was super excited for this movie. I am completely satisfied with leo.

    Anbu ariv action was fantastic.

    Cinematography was super manoj parmahamsa done great job.

    CGI works was great especially hyena scenes.

    Overall this movie gaves me a mindblowing theater experience.

    One of a kind!

    Lokesh Kanagaraj once again proves his prowess in filmmaking. His name is enough to say that you would have a unique experience in the cinema hall. The single shot fight sequence at the factory made me to leave my mouth wide open for its entirety! I admire Lokesh for the efforts he puts to push the boundaries of tamil cinema.

    Vijay really needs a round of applause for his performance and I really appreciate the fact that he agreed to do it in Lokesh's way. I never imagined that Vijay would pull of certain things as these are not something his typical film would have.

    Throughout the film you could see the hardwork of the crew be it the cinematography, editing or the CGI. And the result as expected is top notch. Anirudh's score has received a lot of mediocre reviews. Even though it's not upto the mark, I really liked the score made for Arjun and Sanjay Dutt. It's kind of underrated in my opinion.

    Having watched David Cronenberg's A History of Violence, I know the twists, turns and whatnot. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed Leo. Although I agree that the Das brothers were not intimidating enough and the flashback potion is written poorly, it is not something that would stop the film from being enjoyable.

    High expectations will disappoint you. Weakest of Lokesh's career.

    Short Review: Good - Music, Stunts, Cinematography, Acting

    Bad - Weak story, Weak villain

    The whole movie was a character Intro forcefully extended into a film. Absolutely unnecessary.

    Long Review: The Intro and biting into the movie was good. Fight stunts were really good (Vijay did his part well). But chase scene in the mid of movie was awful to watch with over the top physics and Many of the fight scenes were really exaggerated like 1 vs 1000 people, really stupid.

    VFX on some scenes were really exceptional but in some other scenes (mid chase) were really awful to watch, looks like they rushed the post production here.

    Cinematography in overall movie was done really great(Loki Trademark) even though the VFX failed in certain portions.

    Story & Character building were absent in this movie which was the biggest disappointment that basically bored and killed the enthusiasm of the audience.

    There was only one thing to which the Movie was hanging on to until the end i.e. If Leo is in LCU( Lokesh Cinematic Universe) or not. That's pretty much it.

    This is Loki's worst movie in his career so far. One time watchable for the fans and nothing more.

    Excellent 🔥

    Please watch it to witness a different Vijay. 🔥 Terrific experience. Screenplay and BGM. Everyone says second half could have been a bit better. Even though it's actually true, the first half and the last 30 mins compensates for it.

    The first 90 mins is bliss followed a bit mediocre 30 mins and a high octane terrific last 30 mins.

    Positives: Vijay - It is not a regular Vijay movie. You won't see The regular body language, mannerism.

    Lokesh's screenplay 🔥🔥🔥 Anirush music 🔥🔥🔥 Anbariv stunts 🔥🔥🔥 Negatives: Villains could have been better written.

    So many known faces in the cast makes us expect more from them.

    Overall : A Loki, Vijay, Ani & Anbariv sambhavam! 🔥

    Movie of trailers

    Leo is not up to expectations, several trailers were merged into a single movie. Every 15 minutes a main character is introduced with hype which added some energy to movie so spectators can get some enjoyment. Villains in 2nd half is big let down, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Sarja roles were not written properly. Only one of them is also sufficient for the movie. They don't have any strong reason to go against main character. Sister sentiment was not well established. First half is better than 2nd half. Vijay, Trisha and Gautam Vasudev Menon did excellent job, others even though big names dont have much to add to the movie.

    • Trivia
      The film is inspired by the 2005 film "A History of Violence" by David Cronenberg. According to Lokesh, "It inspired me to write "Leo". A History of Violence (2005) left its mark on me and from that this movie was born. "Leo" is my tribute to Cronenberg's film".
    • Goofs
      While Parthiban is dropping Siddhu to school, he gets the call from Joshy to tame the hyena, he makes Siddhu promise to not tell his mother he was late and then they both go to tame the hyena, but after taming the hyena Parthiban just goes home and Siddhu just magically teleports to school while also leaving the car behind.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to make cuts to scenes of strong bloody violence in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut 18 classification was available.
