The AL Vijay film is an actioner with a generic template and an effective cast
The scene in which Arun Vijay's Gunasekaran puts on his action hero shoes and beats up the goons in order to let the audience know that he is no ordinary man is one of those supposed to be mass moments that's a requisite for an actioner like Mission Chapter 1. When a guy shouts �You bloody Indian� to our hero, we know what is going to follow. His inner mass hero is going to come out, and he will obviously beat up the goons all by himself. But the moment works way better on the screen, and GV Prakash Kumar�s exhilarating music plays a big part in making you feel this way.(more)

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)
