Marco Movie Review: Bloody And Brutal, Especially To Yours Senses

Marco, directed by The Great Father and Mikhael fame Haneef Adeni, starring Unni Mukundan, Jagadish, and Siddique, among others, is a bloody and brutal movie, which can affect your senses. Touted as the most violent movie ever to be produced in Malayalam, this Sun City in colour meeting Animal is not just a no-brainer but a total celebration of violence for the sake of showcasing blood and violence.

The basic thread of the Marco movie must have been like this: Many psychopaths, including the hero, are on a rampage killing whomever they meet on their way, plus they speak random, meaningless dialogues in Malayalam and English.

As a viewer, when I get out of the theatre, I still don’t understand what was the need for all these men and women to die. A simple answer is: violence on the big screen has its fans (as you witnessed with Animal); Haneef Adeni wanted to profit from that.

Marco may work well for Unni Mukundan’s career because of the visibility he managed to get after the details about the movie’s trivia were leaked to create a momentum for the marketing. But for the writer-director Adeni, Marco marks nothing but composing a really disappointing project with blood and disrespect for human sensibility as its themes.

Timeline verdict: Marco is a flawed celebration of violence in an unapologetic way. This might work for the fans of Animal and pseudo-masculinity, which relates itself with men showing off muscles, fighting 100 people at the same time, and throwing meaningless dialogues as they smoke and walk in style.
