Variety

Kanagaraj hails from the Michael Bay school of excess, using dramatic camera moves and clever cutting to give the entire feature the energy typically reserved for a 2½-minute trailer.

A formulaic but satisfying Indian remake of “A History of Violence."

Rated: 3/4

Is Leo peak-Lokesh? No. But it’s worth watching for Vijay’s performance and its set-pieces.

Look at how his camera movements evolve within 164 minutes, and it’ll tell you everything you need to know about his visual-first approach and why he’s one of the best Tamil filmmakers working today.

Thoroughly entertaining action film. It's filled with tracks which initially struck me as cheesy, but which I went home and started listening to on loop.

Rated: B+

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj loads this History of Violence re-telling with several (action) genre treats as gunpowder, the performer in Vijay as ammunition, and shoots it with a lot of filmmaking fury...only to miss.

Lokesh and Thalapathy Vijay did absolute justice to the movie. Technically the movie is sound. Anirudh BGM is elevating the movie and giving goosebumps. Lokesh did great job in direction and by adding surprise elements in the movie. Must watch theater experience., We loved the movie in IMAX., it was MIND BLOWING :). Best Tamil movie of 2023!!! Industry hit movie. Congrats and all Tamil people must be proud B-).

Movie is made just for the sake of making. No grip in the movie and it is obvious from the first scene who is Leo?.

Underrated movie. Think of this movie as a Indian version of marvel series, not a regular movie. Awesome direction, never was a Vijay fan, after this movie my perspective changed.
