Thalapathy Vijay's  movie "GOAT" hit the theaters on September  5.The movie has a  very thin plot but  gathers many references."Greatest of All  Time" aka  "GOAT", is  the penultimate film  of Thalapathy Vijay. before he  became fully  involved in politics.  Looking at his career,  we really understand why 'GOAT' is  perhaps the perfect title for Vijay. Director Venkat Prabhu's spy thriller  also establishes Thalapathy Vijay as truly 'the greatest of all  time'. Anti-Terrorism Squad (SATS), led by Nasser (Jayaram). A fun and efficient team, they get the job done without much hassle.

Director Venkat Prabhu's  Vijay's film  honor is  full of brilliant moments that celebrate the actor. Not the star. The director,  known for his unconventional storytelling and impeccable  comic timing,  takes on a classic  theme with two heroes. However,  this is probably the weakest story  in Venkat's filmography as it hardly offers anything new.  Although he  filled the film with  surprises and  twists, factors of predictability spoil the  flow of the  film.Take the fight scene in the subway for  example. You see  the  old Vijay  fighting a new villain.  Even if the villain is  disguised, you can clearly identify  him before he is  unmasked. While some surprises work well, others  don't. Whenever Venkat Prabhu  uses Vijay's comic timing, the film soars, but  the effect is  short-lived.The script of  "GOAT" is  very thin, relying heavily on references rather than a strong narrative.  This three-hour  movie will test your patience. However,  it is in the last 30 minutes  that Venkat Prabhu's film  really comes  into its own. Twist after twist and  scene after  scene follow each other to  revive the  collapse scenario. It is this  sequence that  makes the audience walk  away with a  smile.Vijay, as an actor,  excels in portraying two different characters on screen. As the young Vijay, he brings  his  'Azhagiya Tamizh Magan'  character to life and  one cannot help but  like him. The film  also  reminds us that Vijay, one of the  greatest actors  of Tamil cinema,  bid farewell to his  prime. Venkat Prabhu's screenplay  references  Vijay's  entry into politics and his past  films, and brings all his  iconic scenes  to life. Vijay, despite his stature,  accepted some story choices,  resulting in some  memorable moments.  Take for  example the scene where the actor passes the baton to  another actor. The dialogues they exchange make for a  great theatrical moment.
