Kannan Sethuram

Ace (2025) is one of those movies that sneaks up on you and grabs your attention right from the jump. Kannan Sethuram, who’s got this knack for bringing out the weirdly human side of even the most stubborn characters, dives straight into a world where nothing is as simple as it looks on paper. You’re dumped into this high-stakes game of ambition, secrets, and, honestly, some pretty wild betrayals. The main character—Ace, obviously—isn’t your typical hero. He’s rough around the edges, way too smart for his own good, and has this charm that’s more trouble than it’s worth. The story kicks off with Ace getting tangled up in a plot bigger than himself, trying to outsmart not just the authorities, but a bunch of shady figures who’d sell out their own mothers for a quick buck. There’s this constant tension, like everyone’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. The city itself almost feels like a character—gritty, unpredictable, and buzzing with energy. Along the way, you meet a crew of misfits, each with their own baggage and reasons for sticking by Ace, even when things get dicey. It’s not just a crime flick, though. There’s heart in there, messy relationships, and those moments where you kinda want to yell at the screen because someone made a terrible decision. At its core, Ace is about survival, loyalty, and figuring out who you are when everything’s falling apart. No sugar-coating, just raw, unfiltered chaos.
