CIA: Comrade in America

CIA is 2017s 3rd left branded malayalam film after oru mexican aparatha and sakhavu. But, it has nothing to do with communism or politics, its just another love story. Plus points of CIA are the first half which is very neat with all commercial elements blended well-humor, romance and action. Amal neerad's making is stylish as usual backed by renadive's dop and the locations were good. But the whole problem starts with the varanam aayiram meets maryan meets cast away second half where it becomes a survival thriller in which our hero is illegally crossing the Mexican border to reach America. Lack of tension element is clearly evident in this phase where instead of sitting at the edge of your seat one becomes restless in their seat waiting for it to end. Its so boring. And after hero reaches America, his purpose goes vain making us cheated. The love story also is not developed well. On the whole, CIA is another misfire from amal neerad.
