Lucifer (2019)

What we wanted from LALETTAN and what we want to see from a director like prithviraj. BEST OF BEST . This is not a fan review . Everyone have to watch this film.. I m in a surprise to see lalettan in this mass look.

Fmovies: Lucifer is a very fabulous class thriller.mohanlal is the main attraction of the movie.direction of prithviraj sukumaran is outstanding.background scores give a great impact to the visual.good cinematography

A film that thrills you from the very beginning to end ,filled with twists and surprises with an element of "Mass & Class" in equal proportion.In short its a boon not just to Mollywood but to Indian cinema. Must watch ,As words are not enough to praise this Wonderful Movie

Lucifer fmovies. I remember watching Maheshinthe Prathikaram a few years ago and thinking that Malayalam Cinema is atleast 5 years ahead of Bollywood. With Lucifer, Bollywood seems to have caught up Malayalam Cinema. Lucifer is the Malayalam equivalent of Simmba. No-brainer style over substance. The first half had potential but then it becomes rather ordinary and stays ordinary till the end.

It is literally a nothing movie. It is not an intelligent movie like Vellimoonga. It is not a proper action movie like The Equalizer or even John Wick. And it is also not a very realistic political thriller. All in all its a rather wasteful way of whiling away 3 hours. Reading all the grand reviews I expected the theater to break into a rapturous applause at the end. About half a dozen guys clapped at the end and it sounded half-hearted. Meh........lets clap.......why?........I dont know.........lets just do it anyways. I think there were about 2 dialogues when I heard whistling and clapping.

The worst thing about the movie is Prithviraj the actor. If he is adamant that he has to pop up in all his movies then he can take a leaf out of Manoj Night Shyamalan's book and be Taxi Driver No#1 or something like that. The half an hour or so that Prithviraj wasted on himself should have been used for better background story development.

Prithviraj the director has done a pretty good job for the most part till the end when he introduces a song & dance number. Someone somewhere in the South has arrived at the conclusion that Hindi is only about profanities or item numbers. Most of the actors deliver. Vivek Oberoi was a good actor till Salman Khan drove him out of Bollywood. Its good to see him get decent roles in regional cinema. Tovino's speech was one of the best things about the movie. I dont think Mohanlal had to break any sweat for Lucifer. He just shows up...........kicks a couple of villains around..........the End.

I still dont get why Indian cinema continues to persist with the one guy beats up a dozen guys single-handedly cliche. Even the Chinese dont do that anymore. Bruce Lee himself would have struggled to take down 8-10 able-bodied men. I and 8-10 of my friends would most likely be able to take down Khabib Nurmagomedov. And why are the villains taking turns to attack the protagonist one after the other and getting beat up. Its a beat down not a beverage shop line. Gang up on the guy all at once. That's how you take down someone . Just such a cliched movie.

Try comparing any of the action scenes in Lucifer with that hotel fight scene in The Equalizer where Denzel kills about 5 men without breaking a sweat. That's how you make an action movie. There is a reason why I watch The Equalizer every time its on television. You couldn't pay me enough to watch Lucifer again. I will not fry my brain again.

Lucifer is kind of like Turkish cinema. Most of their movies are about 5-6 hours long. Lucifer did not have enough content for 3 hours. The director just stretches every scene to make it 3 hours long. In one scene we see a few vehicles being blown up. We see each of the dozen bombs being activated and then the vehicle being blown up. Repeat exact same thing for each vehicle. If an individual is travelling from point A to point B you don't have to show the entire journey. Its a movie not google maps.

I have unfortunately watched about 3 Mohanlal movies in recent times,...Oppam..........Ennum Eppozhum and the one with the Jimmiki Kammal song. Lucifer was better than those three but n

Doing all sorts of mediocrity in the label of "Mass" have become a cancer in the Malayalam movie industry. There is a reason we love Lalettan and Mammookka. That is because they were effortlessly capable of bringing LIFE to the characters they played in the past and were not superhumans but REAL. The story could use the talents of these marvellous actors.

Do we really need this Onemanshow sort of superhuman hero to celebrate our admiration towards these wonderful actors? Unfortunately that is where it has come down to! I really believe if we could use these talent for a solid storyline, we could redefine the term "Mass" to another level.

Stories need Actors, not the other way around.

An average movie from Prithviraj made for Mohanlal fanboys. The movie is filled with all sorts of cliches you can find in any South Indian movie. The only highlight is the Cinematography and well shot action scenes and whatever goodness it had got diluted by the climax with that 80s style item song. I was expecting a different movie from Prithiviraj, who have been always critical about the movie making and cliches used in Malayalam movie. But sadly he did the same thing. This movie is exclusively only for those who are still not tired by watching all those mass movies from Tamil and Telugu movie industry.
