Kee movie review: Neither the cyber intelligence nor actors compensate for poor writing

May 10, 2019 19:27 IST

If you can leave aside Kee’s fundamental problems, Jiiva delivers an okay-ish performance. Though he plays a hacker, he is akin to a superhero, who saves people in trouble. It is a tad disappointing to see Jiiva shoulder Kee; when you know he is capable of more.

May 03, 2019 17:51 IST

Though the premise may sound interesting, it isn’t pieced together in a coherent manner. Somehow, you never want to quite sit up and wonder what’s next. K13’s narrative, which keeps moving back and forth in time, confuses instead of adding to the viewers’ involvement.
