This Beast Film is copy cat of Ransom (1996) is the story of Tom Mullens wealthy owner of an Airlines whose only son Shaun in Kidnapped and held for a 2 million dollar Ransom , What follows is an expertly crafted game of wits between the kidnappers and The Mullens who take the help of the FBI to get their son back . This film is the perfect example of a movie with a simple premise elevated by strong storytelling , intense character interactions and really strong acting . All the actors in the movie do a great job Mel Gibson stars as in the lead role of Tom Mullens and he delivers a perfect performance as a father desperate to get his son back but not afraid to make moves of his own so that he can get his son back Mel Gibson doesn`t often get a lot of credit as an actor but his performance here is subtle and emotional . Gary Sinise is unbelievable as the Kidnapper Jimmy Shaker it is hard to believe that the guy who played Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump can play such a sinister and maniacal character who is willing to go to any lengths to get his Ransom even if it means going against the crew of Kidnappers he has gathered . Rene Russo stars as Katherine Mullens mother of Shaun and wife of Tom she forms the emotional crux of the story and is really good at the emotional scenes without going over the top , In fact all the actors who portray the kidnappers do a commendable job Liev Schreiber and Donnie Wahlberg portray the brothers who are involved in the kidnapping alongside Lili Taylor who is also a part of the crew and starts to doubt their plans when things go haywire . Simply put, the beauty and charm of this movie lies in the fact that the script never gets complicated, but you continue to be hooked. A perfect thriller and one of the best movies of the 90's. The Arabic Kuthu songs are already very popular, the Vijay and Pooja dances are in rich shades, and the other JollyO Gymkhana is also good to see. Amberif's action choreography is top notch. Cinematography and visuals are elite. The production design is very good.One of the best ways to evaluate Thalapathy Vijay's films is to count them in his own films. This is better than Sarkar and Thalaivaa, but not at the level of Kaththi or Theri. An interesting action-packed movie with a refreshing script structure compared to recent action and vijay movies.
