Haneef Adeni's directorial action thriller film Marco starring Unni Mukundan, Siddique, Jagadeesh, Dinesh Prabhakar, was released in theatres on 20 December 2024.
The story of Marco revolves around a revenge-driven narrative where Marco (Unni Mukundan) seeks justice for his brother Victor's (Ishaan Shoukath) murder within a gold smuggling syndicate.
Unni Mukundan delivers a career-defining performance as Marco, embodying the titular role with remarkable intensity and flair, establishing himself as the undisputed backbone of the film. Unni Mukundan’s portrayal exudes unparalleled charisma, with his impeccable style, captivating screen presence, and flawless dialogue delivery standing out as highlights.
Director Haneef Adeni transforms a basic revenge storyline into an action-packed thriller with his unique storytelling approach. Ravi Basrur’s background score amplifies the intensity of pivotal moments, making the action sequences even more memorable.
Jagadeesh impresses as the cold and calculating Tony Issac, delivering a performance that stands out among the antagonists. Chandru Selvaraj’s cinematography is visually stunning, with sleek frames that elevate the film’s stylized action.
The stunt choreography by Kalai Kingston is a major highlight, blending brutality with a sense of cinematic flair. Shameer Muhammed’s editing, particularly in the action sequences, ensures seamless and engaging action set pieces.
The narrative suffers from underdeveloped character arcs, especially concerning Marco’s fiancée and Tony’s family, leaving some emotional beats unexplored. This is one of the most intense and violent Indian films you'll ever witness, with its brutal action sequences not suitable for the faint-hearted.
