Attack Reviews

You are promised an action film; you get an action film. The action is slick, even if a tad monotonous by the end.

John Abraham as India's super-soldier rises from Satyameva Jayate debacle

The technical finesse is impressive but the story and the screenplay needed to be worked on more.

The film slides into the sci-fi genre by introducing us to Artificial Intelligence and how it could revolutionise India's defence systems going forward.

John Abraham's Attack is Bollywood's new-age action entertainer, a thoroughly enjoyable experience and a complete cinematic package.

Whatever might be the measures taken by an earlier John Abraham film, there seems to be a renewed bloodlust in Attack, thats actively trying to court the masses of Uri and The Kashmir Files.

Watch Attack for its attempt at something truly novel within the purview of Indian cinema; its slick VFX; its ability the futuristic techno elements of its concept; the bike chase during the climax, followed by a clap-worthy…

Science and sorcery – the two key omnipresent components of Attack – demand a willing, and complete, suspension of disbelief. That is easy to make peace with.

If you are getting free tickets and have nothing to kill your time, go ahead. Or else wait for the OTT release and then join me in the regret concert.

To sum up, Attack: Part One, is an engaging watch, from start to finish. It could have been even better if some of the characters surrounding Johns Arjun Shergill were given more thought and leg-room.

On the whole, Attack is a dull entertainer. It will be patronised by the masses but will not be liked by the classes, womenfolk and families.

It is John Abraham who does all the heavy-lifting, literally heaving the bad guys across the room, and shooting exact holes into foreheads with both hands. We know exactly how things will pan out, no strain on the brain.
