Critic Reviews
Vikram (2022) Review: A Loud, Lethal Crime Saga
★★★★☆
Vikram is Lokesh Kanagaraj's sprawling Tamil action thriller starring Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi, and a thunderous crowd-pleaser at heart.
Yes, for action fans. Its star power, music and set pieces are huge fun, though the nearly three-hour running time and dense plotting demand real stamina.
