Review of Action

Action (III) (2019)
7/10
Good spy/thriller but not for everyone
6 January 2020
7/10

Plot: When a political leader is assassinated and Subash's (Vishal) family is framed, Subash goes on a mission to find the killer and uncover their motives.

This is a spy thriller. I have already seen similar films. What Action does better is how the first half of the story is presented. There is genuine suspense and thrill in the first half and also most of the entertainment. There are some comedy scenes that was superb but not enough for my taste. As the title suggest most of the effort went on action rather than romance, comedy or drama.

The best part of the film is Tamannah. She does not get as much screen time as she deserves but she did a great job of how much screen time she got. Her acting is top notch. Her expressions, body language all shows her hard work and effort to pull off the character. She looks really pretty in this film. I think after Baahubali this film portrayed her best in terms of looks. Tamannah's fans will surely love this film.

The editing was not up to the mark, too many fast cuts ruined the experience. Too much camera movement is also a negative and people with epilepsy should stay away from this film. The film took ideas from many similar films especially on the second half. The vfx looked choppy.

The songs are nice and well shot. Another positive is Kiara(Akanksha Puri), who is a contract killer. She looks and feels like a proper villain. I liked her more than the main villain. She was ruthless.

Over all the entertaining first half and great performance from Tamannah and Vishal makes it a must watch for the fans of the actors.
