Kuttram 23 (English: Crime 23) is a Tamil medical crime thriller directed by Arivazhagan
of Eeram fame. Arun
Vijay and Arivazhagan have come out with an edge-of-the-seat, medical
crime thriller with lots of twists and turns.
The
intelligent thriller is based on a novel written by popular crime writer Rajesh
Kumar, and has been adapted well to the screen by the director. Arun Vijay as
the convincing cop, and the addition of a good supporting cast, makes the
far-fetched story line believable within the commercial format.
The film
opens in a church where a woman is making a confession to a priest, and both
get murdered. The woman’s husband is an influential person, which makes the
police appoint Vetrimaaran (Arun Vijay), an upright IPS officer and Assistant
Commissioner, in charge of the investigation. Vetrimaran tries to unravel the
mystery and stumbles on a deadly gang in connivance with a reputed city
hospital doing IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation), which forces three women including
his own sister-in-law to “commit suicide”.
One of
the highlights of the film is the action choreography of Stunt Silva, which is
fast and realistic. Vishal Chandrasekhar’s background score soaks in the
atmosphere along with Bhaskaran’s stylish camera.
Kuttram 23 is showing at the CineCentre Suncoast with
daily shows at 09h15
and 17h00.
