Confused, disjointed and abrupt.
Officer has camera work which is synonymous with Ram Gopal Varma's films, where every shot is amplified for effect. But with an incoherent screenplay, the effect is hardly felt. The climax is just like the rest of the film - confused, disjointed and abrupt. In a way, that sums up the audience's mindset too at the end of watching this film.(more)

Even Nagarjuna's no-nonsense approach can't save Ram Gopal Varma's latest film
Officer isn't really an assault on our senses. For all its drawbacks, there's a story worth telling. RGV might have ignored it, but you can go on a wild goose chase to find it with three simple questions - Endhuku? Emiti? Ela? (more)

Vintage RGV mark missing
Officer is a good script gone wrong kind of a film. RGV's story idea is interesting but his narration is not that exciting. Weak villain, not so engaging hero-villain moments and lack of drama hamper the flow of the film. This is not a disaster kind of a film from RGV but the proceedings are not that exciting too. Except for Nag's sincere performance, this film has nothing new to offer. All those who want to see Nag in an aggressive avatar after a long time can give this film a shot but the rest can look for something else more promising.(more)

RGV Mark Missed
RGV-Nag combination after a long time has been disappointing as RGV has failed to showcase the police story he had sketched . He has failed in giving good dialogues and new look to the story line and Nag has failed to elevate the film but did whatever RGV wanted him to do . Nag fans still wonder how he had agreed to do such a dull and insipid role as an officer as demarcated by RGV . Over all the director has once failed the audience after creating a hype .(more)

A violent crime drama with a shallow screenplay and a weak second half
A lot of zoom shots and some weirdly conceived shots did give the film a different tone, but too much of anything could spoil the broth. One feels he got a little carried away with his experimental expedition. Though the songs were strictly average, the BGM worked at places.(more)

unimpressive ringside view
Officer also gets voyeuristic where it shows a close shot of the villain with pliers in his hand, threatening to splice off a child's fingers. The camera turns away but we know he�s done it, because of the atmospherics. What were they thinking depicting such a sequence?(more)
