All Guild Reviews of "Mr. X"
A Campy, Confident, but Chaotic Espionage Thriller
Even if the film doesn’t always hit the right notes, it never shies away from going all out with its imagination and creativity, and manages to entertain as long as we, just like the makers, don’t take the film too seriously
Catastrophic. When more than one character uses this word in a spy thriller, you know that it means just one thing: Global destruction. In Manu Anand’s latest, Mr X, we hear it a few times, and every single time, the weight of the destruction-in-wait is clear. The potential attack has the capacity to obliterate an entire State, and since this is a Tamil film, it is the state of Tamil Nadu, which is in danger, and we have our homegrown R&AW agents who do the thankless job of saving the nation. But despite the massive threat of a nuclear attack, personal equations of the agents jeopardising the mission, and a couple of flashbacks too many, Mr X manages to entertain as long as we, just like the makers, don’t take the film too seriously.
