A hard hitting , socio-political drama . Story was engaging and very well written . In tamil cinema there were some cop praising movies and also some movies based on cop brutality , but this movie shows how lower level cops are controlled by corrupted higher level cops . What happens if a cop trying to be righteous ? This movie spotlights the current reality . Performance wise all gave their best , especially Samuthirakani was awesome . Neelam production has a template , there contents are mostly against casteist , in this also they spoke against casteist in police. Technically movie has everything . Music and songs were good . There were one unnecessary song in first half . Felt like 3rd act was bit forced . Overall a disturbing movie . A must watch movie .

( Movie also speaks about importance of Police union )

RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Aha RECOMMENDED

It has perfect start and forced ending...The movie was raw in most of the places and looks so artificial in some cases... Too much of flashback explanations spoiled the story flow. Lot of characters and lot of deviations. The climax looked like forced one to make this movie as more darker one.

Lot of things made in more detail and explained very well. It should be really appreciable for the core theme and the execution.

Excellent movie! I liked it.

How bad a police could be? Life gets spoiled!

Don't watch this based on caste because it was just a small part of the film watch it how a bad cop tried to do to coverup all his bad deeds and ended up spoiling the lives of many.

Writer (2021) : Brief Review -

Visaranai, Nayattu, Naandhi and now Writer. The way South Industries have exposed the Police Department fearlessly is simply remarkable! There are hundreds of masala films made on police officers where you see the officer being honest, an icon and an inspirational figure to someone, followed by unimaginable action where he would beat a bunch of goons within 2-3 minutes. Well, I just want to ask, have you even witnessed such a fight in real life? How many iconic cops have you met in real life? There are hundreds of films that glorify cops, but there are only a few that expose the bad ones. I don't mean that all cops are the same, like good, but we all know that not all are the same as good either. There are many films that tell you why one should join the police force, but does any film tell you why you shouldn't join the police force? Visarnai (Tamil, 2015), Nayattu (Malayalam, 2021), Naandhi (Telugu, 2021) and now Writer (Tamil, 2021) are those films. These films dare to expose corrupt police officers and our Law & Justice system (mostly Naandhi does the latter). A writer at a police station gets trapped in an illegal custody case involving an innocent PHD student. With his guilt and regret looming large, can he save the young man? Writer starts on a slow note but picks up later, mostly after the interval. Then, in the last 30 minutes, it blows you away and literally delivers a stunning experience. In the lead, Samuthirakani gives a powerful performance. Dileepan, Ineya, and Kumaresan are equally good in the supporting roles. The screenplay drags in the first half, but there are no mistakes afterwards. Technically, Writer has one ending, but logically you get to see two endings-a negative one followed by a positive start. That's something. Franklin Jacob's storytelling is superb. His fearless and uncompromised vision makes this one a Must-Watch!

RATING - 7.5/10*
