Jack

Nothing new about this movie. Supernaturally talented hero, pretty looking girl who has no role in the movie and bunch of so called RAW agents who are clueless yet become greatest shooters by the end of the movie. Few good double crossings but really not a 2025 movie. Might have been a hit 20 years ago. I wouldn't waste my time watching this movie. Songs aren't bad either. Movie stays far from reality where the difference between hero and villan is immense.

Not sure what the director had in mind but I wouldn't spend a time trying to promote this movie.

It sure is good if you want to fall asleep as you'll know what the ending is at the beginning of the movie.

Good actors, their talents all wasted. The core story may be Ok. But the Direction and screen play has been a total non-sense. It could have been better. Makers could have Tried Better Comedy and Better suspense or thrill-Action. They just tried someting to screen. All Wasted. No connect with audience or the story itself. Flow was a mess.

What do you get when you bring together atrocious action directionless direction, and a pointless meaningless script no points for guessing

You get the telugu movie 'Jack'

I am a movie buff, and over the decades have sat through very mediocre stuff being passed off as cinema, but the current crop of filmmakers make the bad movies of the yesteryears seem good in comparison

i couldn't sit through 20 minutes of the 'movie' as i had developed a migraine

watch at your own risk of developing dis-taste and disliking for the movies as a genre of entertainment

I am still astounded and dumbfounded at how these movie scripts and ideas get funded in the first place.

What did I just watch? Jack turned out to be both hilarious and surprisingly serious in its storytelling-but in the best possible way. It's the kind of movie you can enjoy without overthinking-just sit back, switch off your brain, and have a good time.

Sure, I know this isn't how real spy agencies operate, but that didn't stop it from being a whole lot of fun. Definitely give it a go-you won't regret it. In a time when so many films are going all-in on gore, extreme violence, deep growling voices, and endlessly dark themes, Jack stands out by being the complete opposite, which makes it such a refreshing watch.

Now, I will say, the techniques shown in the movie probably shouldn't be demonstrated so clearly-because if someone actually tried them in real life, it could be risky. Still... I can't lie, the way they pulled it off was brilliant, and you'll know exactly what I mean once you see it.

Movie Review: "Jack" (Telugu) - A Misfire from Bommarillu Bhaskar

"Jack" is one of those films that leaves you wondering how a seasoned director like Bommarillu Bhaskar, known for emotionally rich and family-oriented films, could come up with something so disappointing. After watching the film, I found myself questioning not just the story, but every major decision behind the making of this movie. From casting to screenplay, from acting to editing - everything feels like a missed opportunity.

Let's begin with the most obvious problem: the hero's performance. The lead actor, whose name is relatively new in the industry, delivers one of the most forgettable performances I've seen in recent times. His expressions are forced, his dialogue delivery is flat, and his screen presence is utterly lacking. It's hard to connect with the protagonist or feel any empathy toward his journey because the actor himself doesn't seem to believe in what he's doing. A hero must carry the emotional weight of a film, but here, he simply drags it down.

Then comes Prakash Raj, a seasoned actor known for his powerful screen presence and emotional intensity. But in "Jack," he goes completely overboard. His acting feels theatrical and unnecessarily loud. Instead of enhancing the emotional quotient of the movie, he becomes a source of irritation. His role is written in a way that is supposed to be impactful, maybe even heart-touching, but the execution is poor, and his overacting ruins whatever little potential the role had.

The storyline is another letdown. The film doesn't seem to have a clear direction. It tries to be a love story, a family drama, a self-discovery journey, and a commercial entertainer - all at once - but fails to excel in any department. The narrative is painfully predictable and lacks emotional depth. Scenes that are meant to be dramatic feel artificial and manipulative. There's no emotional hook to keep the audience invested.

Dialogues are bland and repetitive. Instead of making us think or feel, they often make us cringe. Attempts at humor fall flat. Even supposedly serious scenes feel unintentionally funny. It's almost like the writers forgot what emotion they were trying to convey in each scene.

The direction by Bommarillu Bhaskar is shockingly weak. Known for giving us heartfelt films like "Bommarillu" and "Parugu," one expects a certain emotional intelligence and sensitivity in his work. But "Jack" lacks any of that charm or maturity. The characters are one-dimensional, the screenplay is messy, and the pacing is painfully slow. Bhaskar seems to have lost his touch in connecting with the audience. It's hard to believe the same director who gave us Siddu and Genelia's lovable chemistry in "Bommarillu" has now directed this chaotic, soulless film.

Music and background score are forgettable. None of the songs stay with you. They appear randomly and often interrupt the flow of the story, which is already struggling. The background music tries to add emotion where the scenes fail but ends up sounding like a desperate attempt to force feelings onto the audience.

Cinematography is decent in parts, but there's nothing particularly unique or visually striking. The locations are standard, the framing lacks creativity, and the visuals do little to elevate the storytelling.

Editing is another weak point. Scenes linger for too long, transitions feel abrupt, and overall pacing is inconsistent. Some scenes could have easily been cut without affecting the story, while others needed better buildup.

Even the supporting cast is underutilized. The heroine's role is underwritten, and there is zero chemistry between the lead pair. The romantic track feels forced and rushed. There is no natural development of their relationship, making it hard to root for them.

If I had to sum it up, "Jack" is a film that had potential but is marred by poor execution on all fronts. It's a perfect example of how even talented directors can go off track when the basics are ignored. A good film starts with a good script, but here, everything feels half-baked.

As a viewer, I felt no emotional connection, no excitement, and certainly no satisfaction after watching this film. It tested my patience and made me appreciate the value of storytelling done right. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, unless they're curious about how a film can go so wrong in so many ways.

In conclusion, "Jack" is a disaster of a film, made worse by bad acting, a weak story, and confused direction. Bommarillu Bhaskar may have taken a big risk with this one, but unfortunately, it didn't pay off. If anything, it serves as a reminder that name and experience alone can't save a film without heart and soul.
