    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Marco' is a divisive film, lauded for its intense action and striking visuals but criticized for excessive violence and weak storytelling. Many appreciate the action choreography and cinematography, while others condemn it for gratuitous brutality and lack of meaningful narrative. The film's controversial depiction of violence, especially against vulnerable groups, sparks significant societal concern, leading to mixed reception.

    A cliche storyline covered up with hardcore action violence sequences

    Rating - 3.75/5

    A one of a kind action violence drama movie unprecedented in Malayalam.

    The plot of the story revolves around the gold syndicate and how the business rivalry among the cartel develops to a personal rivalry whereby the title character Marco retaliates forms the base for the storyline.

    Haneef Adeni's idea of developing a standalone movie of a savage character from his filmography deserves appreciation. He has given umpteen action moments in the movie for the title character but falls flat in developing a strong screenplay which is evident through few cliche sequences in the first half. The latter half is an absolute banger with swagging action sequences, violence and bloodshed.

    Unni Mukundan has given an outstanding performance as Marco the monster through hardcore action sequences and violence and proves he is an absolute showstopper delivering one of his best performance. Jagadish has given a splendid delivery of the character but gives an impression that the potential of a versatile actor was unutilised showing minor flaws of the character arc. Impressive performances by Siddique,Kabir Duhan Singh,Anson Paul & Abhimanyu S Thilakan,giving ample avenue for performance through his debut movie.

    Brilliant capture by Chandru Selvaraj bolstered with Ravi Basrur's lightning BGM's. Shameer Muhammed has precisely trimmed the movie to an action entertainer. Special mention to Kalai Kingson for the dashing actions and the colorist Srik Varier for the brilliant color toning. Hats off to Shareef Muhammed for being the frontrunner in delivering a hardcore violence movie in Malayalam. Please don't leave the theatres before the end credits.

    A must watch movie on big screens to witness the technical brilliance and extreme action violence sequences. Period.

    GOT THE ACTION AND VIOLENCE BUT ARTISTICALLY A FAILURE

    While the movie was packed with blood,gore and violence, it failed to convey to the audience a sense of emotion or thriller...The film simply used blood and violence as a tool to gain attention instead of doing so artistically... Unlike kill in which there is a sense of justice, personal vendetta that thrills the audience and excites them, in Marco we see a man simply killing...the backdrop for the whole murder sprees seen meaningless and blunt for action.. There are evident potholes like a guy who is against illegal businesses being best friends with a young heir of a mafia and visiting illegal sites for fun..The romance with Marco's fiance is just bland and unamusing to watch, the slow pace in the first half makes it particularly bad..The movie does contain some peak action scenes in the second half and could be considered as one of the best scenes in the Malayalam action film industry..but overall,it failed in its artistry due to lacking dialogue and ability to attract the emotions of the audience..The dialogues in particular were cringe and filled with cliches... inauthentic and failing to convey the right emotions to the viewers..The movie failed as a film.

    The movie seems to try to make up for it's lacking artistry with overwhelming violence even though it may be meaningless, senseless violence. BUT STILL IT IS A MOVIE THAT IS AT THE PEAK OF MALAYALAM FILM INDUSTRY IN THE ELEMENT OF VIOLENCE..HENCE I WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR THOSE WHO LOOK FOR VIOLENCE IN MOVIES..

    Only gory

    This movie is a gory movie disguised as an action film. It has a lot of scenes which are gory but barely qualifies as an action film. The action sequences are poor and incomplete. Very over hyped. Watch at your own risk.

    Lot of slow motion scenes and the dialogue writing is very weak. The story line makes no sense with below par villains and acting. Unni mukundan has done an average acting. The hype created is unjustified and makes me feel cheated by the movie critics. The movie is genuinely gory and that is the only thing which has been delivered as promised. Utterly disappointed and expect more from the audience. The IMDb rating doesn't do justice to the people who go to watch on the basis of the reviews.

    Last 30 minutes is disturbing, other than that, the violence is normal

    First of all , the story is straight up mediocre and a common story from old movie . It's the fight scenes and last 30 minutes that made the movie lit.. The cinematography, Camera , editing , and especially music is top notch..

    People were claiming it to be violent from beginning to end and i bet they haven't watched Hollywood, Indonesian french movies like inside , Night comes for us etc ... There is a lot of space for improvement in case of fight as most fight was using hand..i was expecting something like raid , but was just normal fight scene with some violence here and there .. Huge let down is from cgi team.. when a person is attacked using knife , blood is shown splattering which is clearly cgi and we can see it.. could've used real blood or atleast a better cgi.. Could ve used the chainsaw scenes better.. Felt like wasted opportunity. The stair case fight was technically and stylistically great , but action wise not good.hits people with something and shows fake cgi blood. And most scenes are done in dark to cover up bad cgi .

    Some dialogues were cringe, and unnecessary.. some dialogues were fire.. It's actually a mixed bag saved by the intensely disturbing last 30 minutes. I don't think people would sit and watch the portion before the last 30 minutes when it's released on Netflix.

    When it says intermission, i was like.. what.. nothing happened so far.. that's how bad the story is.. could've been better . But i wouldn't mind if from the beginning till end the movie was the same as the last 30 minutes..

    Casting were all good.. unni did great.. Could've used more props in fight scenes than using bare hands.. Could've used prosthetic body and fake blood to show cutting and stabbing than using cgi .

    Anyway recommend watching for the last 30 minutes.

    Amazing action with a stupid story

    Watched the movie in the theater on the first day and have to say, had mixed feelings. The action scenes, bgm and some of the acting are top notch in Marco. It was also interesting to see mollywood upping the boundaries to unseen levels in some of the action sequences. However, what let's Marco down, big time, is the lack of a good story and hilarious lines in serious situations. There is no logic of rationale to Marco's aggression cos the killing of his brother and their relationship etc. Is not well established. Jagadeesh's character is quite interesting, but who asks fora threesome when he is about to get killed? Unni's dialogue delivery falls flat in certain areas as well. And of course the last action sequences, where Unni gets beaten back and blue and then gets up takes a shower and kills everyone. I mean, really? I hope we malayalees can hold films to a better standard than hailing this movie, cos to be honest, it's a very weak attempt overall. Hope this inspires future movie makers to adopt such visceral action, but with a good story.

    • Trivia
      Unni Mukundan has dubbed for himself in the Hindi version. He didn't want the film to feel dubbed, and was personally in Mumbai when the film was dubbed. He explained that from the feedback he received, the Hindi version didn't feel like it's another Hindi-dubbed South Indian film, due to which the makers have been able to maintain that quality.
