Ace review: Vijay Sethupathi is impressive, but uneven script bogs down heist film
Ace movie review: Director Arumugakumar's 'Ace', starring Vijay Sethupathi, Rukmini Vasanth and BS Avinash, is a heist drama that relies heavily on one character. The film's convenient writing is its biggest letdown.
In Short
- Vijay Sethupathi and Arumugakumar reunite after 'Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren'
- The film released in theatres on May 23
- Rukmini Vasanth, BS Avinash and Yogi Babu form the cast
Vijay Sethupathi and director Arumugakumar's debut collaboration 'Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren' polarised audiences completely - viewers either loved its zany approach or absolutely despised it. There's no middle ground. When the duo reunited for 'Ace', expectations were quite so-so. The question remained: Could they craft a film with universal appeal this time around? Let’s find out!
Bold Kannan (Vijay Sethupathi) is an enigmatic figure desperate to shed his criminal past and start a new life. His only link to his former life is his last phone call to imprisoned associates. Relocating to Malaysia, he befriends Arivu (Yogi Babu), a rag picker who masquerades as a businessman to impress Kalpana (Divya Pillai), a hotel owner.
