Critic Reviews
Beast (2022) Review: A Mall Siege Built Around a Walk
★★★☆☆
Nelson Dilipkumar and Thalapathy Vijay in a terrorist-hostage spectacle — loud Kollywood fan service with a Celluloid Score that stays on the mixed side of Recommended.
For Vijay completists — the mall action is the movie; the plot is not.
