Leo is Vijay's most hyped film of his career. Unfortunately this movie ended up as a mediocre. Vijay fans would enjoy this film but as someone who've watched Kaithi and Vikram. Leo is not even near those 2 films. This is definitely not a 100% Lokesh film, everyone expected it to be like Vikram, Kaithi but it was actually another Master. I felt like Master was better tbh.

Lokesh wasted so many roles like Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Anurag Kashyap, Mysskin. Their roles had no depth at all like any of his previous film characters like Santhanam, Amar, Anbu had so much depth.

LCU looked forced and unnecessary for the film, this film had nothing to do with LCU since this movie had no reason to be in it.

Flashback was just too short, it had no logic, and the emotional scenes didn't work tbh.

I dont know why directors always do this to Vijay.

When it was Beast we expected a movie like Doctor but he gave a disaster. When we expect something like Vikram , Lokesh gives us an Indian John Wick, WHY?

No matter how many theories or explanation Lokesh gives, the mistakes in Leo can't be undone Just move on.

Leo: 6/10.

Lokesh tried to fool audience with the hype of LCU. He tried to justify the expenses done on Hyena CG scenes. But I was unable to connect with that scene. Story or characters were not established yet. I was like what are you trying to do with this scene. If hyena was a metaphor of his character, then why movie name or his name is Leo? It could have been Hyena itself. Sandy, Mysskin and Vijay's cafe scenes were the best in the movie. It is the worst adaptation or remake of History of violence. Almost Parthi took the whole movie to reveal that he is indeed Leo, unfortunately entire audience know that he is only Leo, so there was no suspense or surprise in that revelation. They rushed to write the story and film it and release as promised. But they failed big time in the quality of the story and making. Human sacrifice was your best find to push Leo away from his family? Senseless writing. Could not feel Anirudh's presence in BGM. What was with Vijay's hairstyle?? Really!!?? The comment is not about him wearing a wig. With wig, you have more choice to come with better looks. May be they thought to bring Lion's hairstyle but terrible choice. There was no story to drag it for almost 3 hours. Lokesh needs to spend more time in writing. It doesn't matter that you take inspirations or copy from English movies. People always welcome quality movies. These type of movies should fail in box office for the betterment of tamil cinema. Otherwise more movies will come with hype and collect money just with the cast/crew names. Fans should not encourage these movies just because it's your favorite hero's movie. Support good movies and kick the rest away.

The original movie, "A History of Violence" had some purpose, character arc, but using that same story this one is so cheap version filled with overly stylized, glamorized, bombastic film filled with nonsensical plot points. I had a headache watching throughout of it.

Every actor did overacting it's so hard to watch, from Vijay , Trisha, the son character, Psycho, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, everyone had no organic feel to the story. Even the family bonding is so paper thin, cheesy. The action scenes are forced inclusion so are the deliberate fusion of UNIVERSE kind of nonsense they are doing in here. There is no purpose to the leader character as that of the original film. Like more than saving his family members it's more like "I NEED TO SHOW OFF" of how amazing I'm fighter or what not nonsense.

It's just terrible to watch. And it's a trend these days of over the top action following the likes of many Hollywood and even other trended PAN Indian religional films template following.
