Arun Vijay stars in a fast-paced but predictable thriller
As Guna, Arun Vijay is sincere and focussed, especially in the action sequences, in which he gives it his all. While Amy Jackson � one still remembers her from Madrassaptinam � gets totry out some stunts and Tamil lines, Nimisha Sajayan has little to do. Child artiste Iyal is effective, as is the antagonist, Omar, played by Bharat Bopanna. It�s action for Amy Jackson: The actor on her love affair with Indian films Two unlikely places � a hospital and a jail � become some of characters in this thriller. It�s the dynamics inside these places that hold mild interest but there�s not enough time to explore all that when there are bigger stakes at play. Like a well-staged grand action sequence with hundreds of prisoners, during which an unlikely weapon makes a big impact.(more)

The AL Vijay film is an actioner with a generic template and an effective cast
Mission Chapter 1 is an actioner that has a generic template and an effective cast, excluding a somewhat out-of-place Amy Jackson. But sadly, other than Arun Vijay, all the other actors are restricted to the sidelines, including the ever-reliable Nimisha Sajayan and Iyal.(more)
