Review
M. Suganth of The Times of India gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and described “Sasi’s story is familiar, but the filmmaking makes the film engaging.” Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express gave 3 out of 5 stars and termed it as “bloody and slick where style precedes essence.” Janani. K of India Today gave 2 out of 5 stars and noted “the technical aspects and performances as the major positives, but criticized the script and clichèd story.”
Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote “Despite some impeccable action sequences, Vijay Kumar’s ‘Fight Club’ doesn’t live up to its true potential thanks to the wafer-thin plot and predictable writing.” Bharathy Singaravel of The News Minute gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and described that “the film doesn’t quite manage to pull a coherent narrative and relays on its stylish execution.” S. V. Harshini of Film Companion praised the “technical finesse”, which actually saved the film from “narrative setbacks.”
Siddarth Srinivas of OnlyKollywood rated 3.25 out of 5 stars and described “On the whole, Fight Club turns out to be a really good ‘boys action film’ that is worth watching for its action sequences. If we don’t mind the wafer thin plot, the film is one to spike up your adrenaline.”
