5/10
predictable and unexciting sequences

Warning: Spoilers
'John Luther' took off on a very high note, keeping us glued to our seats. The momentum, later, slowed down due to predictable and unexciting sequences

DELICIOUS

-Roby Varghese Raj really elevated the quality of the cinematography, simply superb😃 The match-cut transitions were brilliant and drew our attention

-Hats off to Abhijith Joseph for his directorial debut, he did well. The clever blocking of the actors brought so much zest to the storytelling, we were transported on a journey

-'John Luther' had all the components to produce a thrilling atmosphere: the dark color grading, ominous score, remote and obscure locations, and great suspense.

-The continuity team did a beautiful job of maintaining the consistency of major facts, e.g. John's hand injury that went from stitches to a scar, and the clock time that coincided with the incident timings

-The film taught us about resilience. Despite his hearing loss, John still regained the confidence to go back to work and persevere

BLAND

-Dubbing' suffered quite a bit 😓

-Hearing loss aside, the screenplay wouldn't have been any different

-John's lack of proper care for his wife and family didn't send a good signal about his personality. He appeared unemotional throughout the movie

-The kidnapper's profile was average, we had anticipated a more intimidating antagonist

-The ending scene when John chased a man in the forest was a little unrealistic. Without a hearing aid and being severely wounded, how did he pursue that man at night?🤔
