Marco, which came as a year-ender, alongside the gigantic Pushpa 2, is one of the goriest cinematic celebrations of bloodiest bloodbaths in Indian cinema.
Marco, which is rumoured to be the spinoff of Nivin Pauly’s Mikhael, is nothing but the extreme violence and the stylistic class of Hollywood. The writing has its flaws; and those flaws ought to be forgiven if one decides to enjoy the most violent film ever to be made.
Marco, played by Unni Mukundan, is the step-brother of Adattu George (Siddique) and he is not not yet fully accepted into the family. There are a few who love him. There are a few who hate him. But, he loves the whole family unconditionally. The villains– the business partners of their syndicate– kill the hero’s brother. The hero is now hunching to kill them, brutally.
The storyline is not what makes Marco a special movie. It is a special movie for its quality of representing the most violent scenes in a choreographed style and the swagger of a class action flick. The stunt sequences choreographed by Kalai Kingson look like a video game. The graphicness of the violence is so extreme that there isn’t a single shot in fights where the blood isn’t splashing around the faces and the flesh isn’t sloppying on your screen. The last 30 minutes is the best part of the movie.
If you feel that the whole review isn’t talking anything extra except the violence, that is because the film offers too little anything other than the bloodbath. The slow burning dramatic portions before the bursting out of action are quite interesting as well. However, the lack of a unifying strong element of the story is a huge drawback and might be another warning call for the industry that is relying more on violence excessively than that is required. Marco is that watchable product of these genes– only if you have the bearable ability that Marco strictly demands.
