WARNING: *SPOILERS*
Romeo Akbar Walter had a really interesting premise but didn't use it to its full advantage.
Starting off with the positives, I thought the technical aspects of the film were great. The set design, direction and cinematography were all well done. I have no complaints whatsoever with any of these.
John Abraham did a great job with his role even though I felt there wasn't much to his character. Same with Mouni Roy. I felt her character was very underdeveloped. I wish we got to learn more about these characters since Grewal barely added any development. At no point in the film does Abraham's character show that he feels worried or tense during the mission which made his character seem one-sided. Also I felt Abraham's third avatar (Walter) was rushed and underutilized since you don't see him till the very end
There were barely any intense moments or stakes to interest me and hence why I felt the film was boring. Throughout the movie nothing much happens to keep the viewer fascinated by what's going on. This makes the film feels longer than it should be as there isn't anything investing.
If the story was polished by adding some intense scenes and character development then this may have been a very intriguing espionage movie. Just by making the film patriotic doesn't make the film good. I felt very disappointed since this movie had potential. I would suggest watching Raazi instead as that film achieves its goal better than RAW.
