    Project Silence

    "Project Silence," directed by Kim Tae-gon, offers a thrilling ride with its mix of disaster and horror. The film excels in creating a visually captivating and suspenseful atmosphere, with top-notch CGI and a gripping background score that enhances the experience. The late Lee Sun-kyun delivers a compelling performance as a devoted government officer, and Ju Ji-hoon adds a delightful comic touch as a quirky petrol station attendant. Despite its predictability, "Project Silence" is best enjoyed on the big screen for its visual extravaganza and relentless action.

    Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's *Kill* is an exhilarating ride packed with relentless action. Set on an express train, the film showcases a superbly crafted narrative, brought to life by Lakshya's commanding performance as Amrit and Raghav Juyal's chilling portrayal of the psychotic Fani.

    "Target" is a nerve-wracking thriller that delves into the dark side of online secondhand marketplaces. Director Park Hee-gon weaves a tale inspired by real-life scams, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the film. Shin Hae-sun delivers a captivating performance as Soo-hyun, a woman caught in a web of deception and danger.

    Abraham Ozler

    ★★★

    Abraham Ozler, under the adept direction of Midhun Manuel Thomas, marks Jayaram's commendable return to the thriller genre. The film showcases visually stunning scenes, though it grapples with occasional forced dialogues and shifts in tone. Despite the potential in the medical profession storyline, its execution lacks impact. Jayaram delivers a convincing performance, supported by a distinguished cast that adds authenticity. Unfortunately, a predictable character-reveal subplot in the latter part diminishes the overall captivating essence of the film. While Abraham Ozler offers sporadic moments of thrill, it falls short of attaining genuine distinction in the thriller genre.
