Ace (2025) – A Playful Heist with Heart

 


If you’re searching for a movie that blends crime, comedy, and a hint of romance, Ace is a solid pick for your next Prime Video watch. Directed by Arumuga Kumar, this Tamil-Telugu bilingual film offers a breezy, genre-bending ride anchored by the ever-charming Vijay Sethupathi.

A Story with Surprising Twists

Ace introduces us to Kannan, played by Vijay Sethupathi, who arrives in Malaysia with a mysterious past and a knack for poker. What starts as a quiet attempt at a new life quickly spirals into a wild adventure as Kannan befriends Arivu (Yogi Babu), a lovable ragpicker with dreams of his own, and Rukku (Rukmini Vasanth), a determined young woman fighting to reclaim her family home from a ruthless stepfather.

The film’s plot thickens as Kannan gets roped into helping Rukku pull off a daring heist. Along the way, they dodge gangsters, corrupt cops, and plenty of comic mishaps. The narrative keeps you guessing, with unexpected alliances and clever cons that add spice to the story.

Performances That Shine

Vijay Sethupathi effortlessly carries the film, blending wit, warmth, and a touch of mystery. His chemistry with Yogi Babu is a highlight—their banter brings plenty of laughs and heart. Rukmini Vasanth stands out as Rukku, bringing both vulnerability and strength to her role. The supporting cast adds energy, though the script sometimes leaves them with less to do.

Direction and Style

Director Arumuga Kumar brings a playful, almost whimsical touch to the heist genre. The film’s visuals are lively, capturing the hustle of Malaysia’s city streets, and the editing keeps things moving, even if the pacing occasionally stumbles in the first half. The soundtrack complements the film’s shifting moods, with a background score that ramps up the excitement during key moments.

What Works and What Doesn’t

  • What Works:

    • Vijay Sethupathi’s charismatic lead performance.

    • The fun, unpredictable heist plot.

    • Lighthearted humor and genuine chemistry among the cast.

  • What Could Be Better:

    • The film’s first half feels slow at times.

    • Some jokes miss the mark, and the romance is underdeveloped.

    • The finale, while entertaining, is a bit safe and predictable.

Final Thoughts

Ace is a cheerful, easygoing film that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s the kind of movie you watch for the laughs, the thrills, and the chance to see Vijay Sethupathi do what he does best—charm the audience. If you’re in the mood for a light crime-comedy with heart, Ace is a fun way to spend an evening.

Rating: Average – A playful, genre-blending heist film with plenty of charm and a few surprises.
