Review

One can call RAW or Romeo Akbar Walter to be a script driven movie with a gripping narrative. Thanks to the massive research carried out by the director writer Robbie Grewal before writing this film. The screenplay and production seems to be incredible, again the choice of locations are to be blamed for it as these have helped the film to get the vintage feel. The film somewhere resembles to Raazi, but differs in many ways, thanks to John who has done an incredible role in it. The only flaw that one can witness in the film is the first part, which seems to have gone too flow taking too many close-ups of the actors, which make things repetitive and lull.

Talking about the performances, John Abraham has simply nailed it with his fierce action sequences and incredible dialogues. Mouni Roy was a revelation in the film but soon turned out to be the victim of less screen space. The others like Sikander Kher and Jackie Shroff too have done justice to the assigned characters. The other elements like direction, music, the sound effects, photography and technical stuff have gone well, which helped the entertainment value of the film in a big way.

Romeo Akbar Walter (RAW) – The Last Word

The film RAW is made with loads of research and detailing. The spy thriller is neither a melodramatic film nor a remotely jingoistic movie. But if you are a fan of John or genres like espionage genre then it can be a perfect catch this weekend. Go and enjoy the high octane action sequences you can get the Hollywood spy flick feel in it.
