அக்கு....

recently i have had the time off from work n studies...been watching so many movies that if you pick any movie that has been released over the past few months there is a good chance i would have already seen it...

i have never been an avid review believer hence when i wanna watch a movie i don waste much time trying to look up what the critics have to say about the movie...i jus find online streaming of the movie and start watching it...i don't expect much...my needs are pretty simple...all i am looking for is some timepass thats it...but honestly speaking...in this movie i got more than timepass...

dedicated to the sincere and daring policeman and politicians of the country "அக்கு" apprently is how a bomb squad expert (anu hassan) helps diffusing well a bomb...simple enough...but the twist is that it is not just your normal everyday bomb made of rdx but a new type never known to anyone (well not everyone...the bomb maker knows about it duuhhh!!!)which is fitted to the boot of the hero and is armed once he started running...an would explode if he stops...apparently planted by the leader of a major terrorist outfit headquartered in chennai...now for the reason...simple enough again...the hero is in love with the younger sister of the villan...how the hero keeps running from chennai to madurai to some other remote village...how the doctors keep him going....how the police track down the terrorist outfit and take them out in the process some of the officers give up their life...how finally anu hassan puts her life in danger for saving the hero and what happens next is the movie...all in a all...not a wowieee movie but one worth watching...

Pro: low profile star cast with people doing justice to their job.. a new concept attempted...the movie is not very long...infact it hardly runs for an hour and a half...

cons: Some of the stuff doesn't seem believable (for example the villan always seems to use real time tracking system which zooms in and shows real live pictures of what is happening where..hero running from city to city 100's of kms non stop...doctors able to see xray reuslts and scan results shot from a small video camera through video conferencing while the person at the other end doesn't seem to have the facility for the conferencing set up...)

overall...i liked it...even though at some point you would feel come on man give me a break....where in the real word do these things happen....but then again...thats what movies are for right...imagination....sometimes just trying to extend what we know as reality...
