Mr X Twitter Review: Fans Praise Arya-Gautham Spy Thriller But Slam Weak Screenplay

Mr X Twitter Review: 'Mr X' has finally hit theatres, and social media is buzzing with mixed reactions. Starring Arya Gautham Karthik and Manju Warrier as leads, the spy action thriller promises high-octane action, stylish visuals, and a gripping premise. Early Twitter reviews praise the intense face-off between the leads, slick action sequences, and a more engaging second half with a strong cat-and-mouse dynamic. However, many viewers criticise its weak screenplay, predictable twists, and uneven pacing, with some noting 'Mission: Impossible' style influences. Overall, 'Mr X' delivers on style but falls short on storytelling, making it a mixed bag for audiences.

Read below to know fans' reactions to the action-thriller Tamil film.

Sandy, '#MrX review! Good story, but it falls flat from the beginning. MI inspired! Too many cast and less scope! Boring twists, every BGM feels bad. Everybody's acting was okayish. The 2nd half was slightly better than the 1st. Part 2 is there. Overall SKIP or OTT! I'd give it 2.5/5. I disliked it!'

- The action sequences and stylish making are a plus.. 🤝

- The film stays true to its core without deviating..

- There’s a lead into Part 2 with a twist..✌️ The screenplay could have been better, with higher stakes and stronger missions..

- The interval block and climax were engaging.. 👍

- Overall, if you watch Hollywood-style spy action films, this can be a time-pass watch.
