Review of Thuppakki

Thuppakki (2012)
10/10
Brilliant Action Thriller
29 October 2015
Fast paced, taught, well written and acted action thriller. Waiting fora sequel. Vijay's performance is a revelation and the well paced direction and script is outstanding. It really redefines the action thriller genre in Tamil Cinema. None of the genre tropes are present, and the story ebbs and flows with such logic and ease. If every script that entered the Tamil film industry was at least half this standard, the quality of Tamil cinema would be world renowned and tenfold what it is today. Similar styled to Vishwaroopam, John Wickand the upcoming Thoongavanam, and maybe Yennai Arindhal, it should be revered more as an action classic. I hope Murgadoss and Vijay do team up again, Kaththi was a good but a tad of a misfire due to several shoehorned sequences, and AR Murgadoss needs to rein together the same creative team that made this movie, and plan and perfectly execute a taut sequel that would further the storyline along the lines a Bond or Mission Impossible movie. I do want to see Vijay, or rather Jagdish Dhanapal, to go against another worthy, I say again WORTHY adversary for this next film.
