Ace Movie Review: Vijay Sethupathi, Yogi Babu deliver the laughs in this chaotic and convenient caper
But they soon enter into heist territory, and there is no place for such moments. It is just a series of chaotic and convenient occurrences. There is a poker game. There is a loan shark. There is a bank. There is a perverted police officer. There is coercion. There is an ailing mother. There is a heist. There is a home that needs to be bought back. There is a chase. There is another chase. There is one more chase. There is a henchman who is quite the challenge for the hero on more than one occasion. There is a police team on the chase. Oh, and there is also a random lottery and a jackpot. And in between all of this, there are various attempts to make us laugh, which meet with varying results.
