The Good, the Bad and the Lone Survivor :

• "Vivegam" is a movie packed with true international flavour and the story as well as narration is something new to the Tamil cinema.

• The story involves a lot of high technology concepts and details of international security agencies, and the film has the gloss required for an international film.

• However, the biggest problem of the film is its predictable story and screenplay, especially in the second half where the logic gets a little muddled.

• The introduction of concepts such as Secret Society controlling the entire world needs better detailing.

• Many happenings in the second half, such as the cat-and-mouse game between the hero and villain, can be termed as an attack on the sense of the audience.

• Still, director Siva has to be credited for packing the film with enough moments that will satisfy Ajith Kumar fans. The emotional quotient in the form of husband-wife relationship also works to an extent.

• Ajith Kumar has given his best performance, and with his fit figure and charming charisma, he is undoubtedly the perfect choice for the role of an international agent.

Trivia:

• Abhishek Bachan was previously considered for one of the lead roles.
