Commando 2: The Black Money Trail

"This film gets tiring very quickly. Sadly, it feels as pointless as a demonetized 500-rupee note."

"Commando Karanvir Singh (Vidyut Jammwal) is a superhero-crusader without the Superman costume. His guiding principle is: Jab tak jaan hai koshish karte rehna hai. He tries too hard. It weighs down the film"

"What is missing is a plot, muscular enough to service a racy, pacy actioner."

"Commando 2 does not explore a novel theme - it's the classic good vs evil - but the high-voltage action makes this an entertaining one for fans of the genre."

"A little more attention to the plot would have turned it into a far better product than it is right now. But if the ultimate aim is to showcase your hero as a badass killing machine, should you really care about cohesive narration?"

"Commando 2 is strictly for Vidyut Jammwal fans and for those who have a thing for action-fests!"

"The blaring 'Commando commando' background during the action scenes is strikingly outdated. Overstretched and uninspiring, this film is reminiscent of a poor man's Abbas Mustan film. Even decent action cannot salvage this dreary supposed crime thriller."

"Commando 2 lacks heart and is all muscles. If may not even quench your thirst for some adrenaline-pumping stunts."

"The bright spot in this fight-fuelled drama is Jammwal, whose blows pack a punch. Watch this only if you are a fan of body combat and bloody fist fights."

"Commando 2 does no justice to its name. It's a lackluster action film with remotely riveting story."

"COMMANDO 2 is a predictable entertainer that would appeal only to its target audience. At the Box-Office, it will do a fair business."

"Stunts and force sans excitement..."

"There's more unintended hilarity and very little combat to justify the existence of a sequel. And while Jammwal definitely can score in the daredevil department, he needs a script much more robust than his physique for the viewer to endure everything between the stunt scenes. Commando 2's endlessly mindless proceedings do not come anywhere close to fulfilling that criterion."

"The film's impressive action scenes and pretty hero cannot compensate for its limited substance, which matters particularly because the action is not unrelenting. While Karan is bashing up baddies, it is hard to look away from the screen. When he is not, it becomes easy. Sadly, there is more to Jammwal than that face, body and his fighting skills. Someone give this man a more substantial film, please."

"Commando 2 is an action film that decides to wear another mask; of topicality, social consciousness and patriotism, all for the heck of it. In the process the film loses its own identity entirely."

"Commando 2 is recommended viewing for the Finance Ministry, fans of actresses who steal scenes from under the noses of their bulky heroes, and advocates of films that are extensions of the government's Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity department. Its efforts to make sense of and communicate a solution for the black money economy is even less competent than the government's authoritarian measure."
