Christopher quick review: What worked and didn't in the Mammootty-starrer

Positive: Mammootty's performance

Mammootty's screen presence in Christopher is a key reason to watch B Unnikrishnan's vigilante action movie

Negative: Film's duration

While Christopher's first half is on point, the latter half feels a bit stretched and could have been trimmed further

Positive: Brilliant visuals

Faiz Siddiq's frames elevates Mammootty's Christopher by giving it a Hollywood-esque feel

Negative: A weak antagonist

While Vinay Rai does his best as Sitaram Trimurthi, the character still pales in comparison with Mammootty's Christopher

Positive: Justin Varghese's music

Christopher's theme music as well as the background score composed by Justin Varghese add to the theatrical experience

Negative: A less engaging 2nd half

The focus on the battle of wits between Christopher and Trimurthi makes the 2nd half of the film less engaging

Positive: Christopher's making

The film is definitely among the finest from both director B Unnikrishnan and scriptwriter Udaykrishna

Negative: Lack of emotional connect

Christopher's personal tragedies don't work as the characters & their bonds aren't fleshed out
