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 mind...(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)

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)
