Guts had the kind of story that could have worked if it was handled better. I was hoping for something intense and emotional, but it felt flat from the start. The film drags a lot, and I found it hard to stay focused.

I watched this movie after seeing its surprisingly high IMDb rating, but it totally disappointed me. From the start, the casting choices felt wrong. Rangaraj plays both the father and the son, yet brings little depth to either role. The rest of the cast barely registers, and the performances come off as wooden and unconvincing.

The characters didn’t feel real, and the dialogue felt forced. Even though I kept expecting it to pick up, it never did. By the end, all I could do was wait for it to end.

The technical aspects don’t redeem it either. The cinematography is serviceable at best, and the editing makes the pacing uneven. The score by Jose Franklin feels out of sync with the emotional beats the film tries to hit. Despite some visually interesting moments, Guts never quite grips you the way a thriller should.

I honestly don’t know how this film managed such a high IMDb score. Maybe it’s a case of early hype or inflated fan ratings, but it certainly doesn’t reflect the actual quality of the movie. For a film titled Guts, it surprisingly plays it safe, leaving little impact.
