Marco Twitter Review: Unni Mukundan's stylish action thriller stuns netizens - 'Brutality with no bounds'

After much anticipation, the Unni Mukundan-starrer gore action thriller Marco has finally hit the big screens. Marketed as the “most violent film made in Malayalam cinema,” this latest actioner is directed by Haneef Adeni and features Unni Mukundan in the titular role. For the unversed, Marco is a spin-off of the 2019 Nivin Pauly-starrer Mikhael. Here’s how FDFS (First Day First Show) goers have reacted to the film:

Marco Twitter Reviews

Many users took to their social media pages to praise the makers for crafting a stylized action thriller in Malayalam, while also lauding the stellar performances delivered by the lead actors. One user wrote, “#Marco : A highly stylized action flick with brutality being the highlight. Storywise, nothing new, but the action blocks and making pack a punch. Some lag in the second half, but the pre-climax and climax deliver. Unni 👌 If you are an action lover, watch it.”

#Marco is a visceral adrenaline rush, driven by a powerhouse performance from UnniMukundan who delivers both brutal intensity and magnetic presence !!!! 🔥

Haneef is Back 😎.

Go for it . 🤛

Calling it an intense drama, fans were thrilled to see a charismatic Unni Mukundan effortlessly donning the heavy role of Marco. Another user wrote, “#Marco is an intense action drama that starts with a decent first half but gains momentum in a gripping second half. @Iamunnimukundan excels as the charismatic lead, delivering impactful action sequences. Despite shortcomings in the script and supporting cast, the movie is worth a watch.”

It’s better if #Marco does not have any direct connection to Mikhael (2019) and is set in a new universe. Since the character is dead, the new movie cannot be a sequel. If it’s a prequel, his treatment in Mikhael would affect his characterization.pic.twitter.com/6yrKvMFgZD

#Marco

A blood-soaked spectacle of violence, violence, bloody f*cking violence. Brutality at extreme level.

Not for the faint-hearted, but a treat for thrill-seekers. 🫡
