Commando (2013)
6/10
if you are longing for some great action moves, Commando is a treat for you
18 April 2013
Commando is a routine good vs evil flick which had no story and direction but Vidyut Jammwal's death-defying stunts makes it a commendable watch.

After being wrongly accused as terrorist , Karan ( Vidyut Jammwal) escapes from China's border. On his return , he meets Simran ( Pooja Chopra) who is running for her life after wicked and stone-hearted politician ( Jaideep Ahlawat) forces to get married to her. Karan must fight with the warlord before Simran gets in his hand. The Review Directed by Dilip Ghosh , Commando is a typical love story we have seen on Indian screen ample number of times. However , Commando works on several grounds. The never-before action sequences played by Vidyut , dialogues with witty one-liners and shrewd and cunning comic role played by Jaideep Ahlawat. I also liked the cat-mouse game played between Vidyut and Jaideep. Hats off to Vidyut Jammwal for executing the near- to-perfection action scenes without any cables and body double. The hard-work clearly pays off and it is pleasure to watch the deadly stunts. The actor gives good one-liners with serious tone of his voice. Jaideep Ahlawat plays the selfish villain character with aplomb. I liked his grey characterization of local MLA. Pooja Chopra shows ample promises and should go a long way. The flipside is the weak direction and poor storyline. Screenplay is OK. Cinematography is eye-catching. Editing could have been better. Action scenes are the highlight of the film. The Bottom-line Overall , if you are longing for some great action moves, Commando is a treat for you. Otherwise , you might want to skip it. Average 2.5/5
