'Guna must rescue his daughter from a terminal illness while also protecting his country from terrorists in London' would be a one-line summary of Mission (Chapter 1? Seriously Vijay?).
A mix-match of Thandavam, and many Hari films, we get an 'I have seen it before' kind of film, except the part, where it is mostly shot in London (or Ramoji Film City, who knows). 'Mission' must have solely relied on North Indian or Andhra markets as the scope of the patriotic-action-adventure genre of films has become limited in Tamil Nadu. That being said, it is not a complete waste of a film. Vijay's efforts in story-telling have not gone unnoticed, for there are no musical numbers to interrupt the story with vivid characterization, where supporting characters get to have their spotlight moments - which they spoil with their lack of intelligence but we will come to it later. The stunt is cool, especially with an action sequence with Nimisha at the end of the film that I really enjoyed.
Amy Jackson was a pain to watch on screens, especially her Tamil. Vijay should understand that it is okay to let the actors speak dialogues in their languages and later dub that in Tamil, instead of telling an artificial story where everyone speaks Tamil. Typical cliches of commercial cinema were excruciating to watch, even for my father. Guna fights ten people at a time, Guna falls in the canal but somehow doesn't drown, Guna must always take the spotlight and be the only character with common sense, Guna, a person with a sharp intelligence somehow misses his purse now and then, Guna doesn't see a snitch from miles away but can smell out all the other criminals, and so much more!
A stereotypical Punjabi 'friend' who also speaks Tamil, too many dialogues that are cringe, an unwanted flashback, a weak antagonist who is short of manpower at all times, a stupid child that doesn't live up to its hype, snitches being snitches for about 70% of the film without getting caught - you could list the drawbacks of Mission: Chapter 1 in a complete roll of toilet paper and still you might have some points. In my opinion, Vijay should have trimmed Mission around 90 minutes and the storyline should have been sharp.
To conclude, Mission might be embarrassing to watch for some, and exhausting for many, but it is still a decent attempt. 2.5/5.

Nothing new, everything same old formula movie , even fighting scenes are unbelievable, in a fight using water to find and other fight using chilly powder they way the shot is too bad, direction team should have concentrated on something new to add to the plot of the story to make it interesting and not just believing inthe stunts will make a movie worth to watch totally media core. Wasted my time, can't sit in the end fast forward the end section and there is nothing to write it for 600 words so like the move my review too is not good, next time hope director vijay will come up with a good full package.
Extremely good acting by Arun Vijay. He carries the movie throughout. Sure this movie would bring him so much fame. Incredible story and direction. Amy's Tamil sounds too good to listen to. Her action sequences could have been better. It was obvious she was pretending to beat. Baby has also acted so well and is damn cute. They hooked us into the story effortlessly. It's a great theatrical watch, an action packed thriller I wish I watched this sooner. Beautiful location choices at London. The jail sequences, hospital sequences and the bus fight scenes were good. No wonder Lyca has backed this project. This movie deserves an even better success!
At starting of the movie seems just terrorist vs army battling but it's differs frm normal film...
A protogonist brings his daughter to UK for treatment but unfortunately he went to jail and tat jail hijacking by terrorists....
Soon we knw that protogonist was a jailer few years bck...
Soo he try to stop from escaping the prisoners frm jail..
And finally he killed those terrorists and save her daughter too...
Must watch action movie..!

I would say this is the best film I have seen in recent times. Everyone has acted very well. I will definitely watch this movie again, it's so great. It's very interesting. It's also a great movie. It's a movie that makes you expect what's next. Definitely this movie is a great movie that you can watch as a family. Everyone come and watch this movie. This movie is a nest level for Arun Vijay sir. This movie is definitely next chapter 2. It will be even more amazing. I am waiting for it. The best movie that came to Pongal in Tamilnadu is the movie Mission. This movie is very good. Many people don't know about this movie. I went and saw it late at the time of its release. I liked it very much. We are very happy to have given such a great film in our Tamil cinema.
