Analysis

A crime thriller involving multiple murders, money, and a dirty secret. It makes up for a nice, compelling watch, right? Well, with ‘Midnight Killers,’ that is not the case.

Despite having a predictable plot, the movie had the potential to do wonders. But the idea, which looked impressive, faltered in execution. The camerawork in this movie is simply amateurish, which evokes any kind of interest. The editing is so haphazard, that it makes viewers wonder if they are being shown a parody.

‘Midnight Killers’ is sandwiched somewhere between being inquisitive and being absurd. Even if the plot is not bizarre, the way the makers go about narrating the story makes it look one.

The thriller factor is completely missing, despite the movie claiming to be one. There is no intensity in most of the sequences, and most of them end up being unintentionally funny.

The killer, whose mere presence should evoke fear as per the script, looks more like a clown, and by the time the actual truth comes out, most of the viewers have lost their interest in the project completely.

Is there anything good in this movie? Well, there are some actors, especially Ravikumar and Devaraj, who have attempted to salvage the sinking ship, even though without much success. The background music is okay, though it could not make up for the wafer-thin storyline.

What's There?

Only the performances of Ravikumar and Devaraj

What's Not There?

Boring narrative
Sloppy Editing
Sequences that end up being unintentionally funny
Wafer-thin storyline
Weak antagonist that serves no purpose

Verdict

‘Midnight Killers’ could have been one good thriller, on the lines of the ‘HIT’ franchise, or even ‘ Drishyam Click to look into! >> Read More... ’ to an extent. Sadly, it turned out to be an amateur product with no clarity in either vision or the narrative. Only some acting performances prevented this movie from becoming a bore.
