Movie Review: Leo
Plot
Leo tells the story of Parthiban, an animal rescuer and bakery owner in a small village in Himachal Pradesh. When a group of dacoits enters his bakery, Parthiban's peaceful life is disrupted, and he must protect his family from harm. The film takes us on a thrilling journey as we uncover Parthiban's past and the connection between Leo and Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).Acting
Thalapathy Vijay delivers a career-best performance in Leo. His portrayal of Parthiban is both emotionally engaging and action-packed. He shines in both the dramatic and action sequences, capturing the essence of his character perfectly. The supporting cast, including Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Das, also deliver terrific performances, adding depth to the story.Cinematography
The cinematography in Leo is top-notch. The film is filled with stunning visuals, from the picturesque landscapes of Himachal Pradesh to the intense action sequences. The key shots taken as slow-motion and drone shots enhance the immersive experience, making it a treat to watch, particularly in a theatre setting.Direction
Lokesh Kanagaraj proves once again that he is a masterful filmmaker. With Leo, he takes a familiar story and elevates it to Hollywood standards. His screenplay, co-written by Rathna Kumar and Deeraj Vaidy, keeps the audience engaged. Lokesh successfully creates a balance between violence and action throughout the movie.Overall Review
Leo is a near-perfect commercial entertainer that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Thalapathy Vijay's career-best performance, combined with Lokesh Kanagaraj's brilliant direction and the film's stunning cinematography, make it a paisa vasool entertainer. While the second half may turn predictable and a tad dramatic, Leo surprises with its twists and turns, keeping the audience engaged throughout.Share this review
