A gripping whodunnit despite some predictable choices
Ten Hours is a taut whodunnit thriller that could have been more if only the suspects had convincing motives. Having said that, it would be unjust to put down a film that has dared to avoid inane subplots, a convenient writing choice common to films of this genre. Debutant Ilayaraja's watertight screenplay and Sibi's adequate shouldering and thrills at regular intervals make Ten Hours a winner.(more)

Standard issue highway thriller
Even Sibiraj's capable presence can't elevate material that paints his character as almost infallibly deductive from the get-go. If the hero has all the answers (or gets them quickly), where's the suspense for us? We're not given much reason to care about the victims either. Instead of letting the mystery breathe, the film leans heavily on flashbacks and exposition dumps, with characters explaining deductions or spilling backstories under interrogation. The eventual villain reveal and motive land with a shrug � too little, too late, and frankly, forgettable.(more)
