Reviews
In spite of its pretensions, Citadel is far from being a serious spy thriller. This is your basic, by the numbers, pro US action series, with a dash of predictable, endlessly tiresome, woke nonsense. Acting is alright and the action is alright too, but really there's not a lot on offer here by way of creative, intelligent story telling. Unsurprisingly, after a couple of exposition driven episodes, the whole experience starts to feel repetitive. In summary, yet another glitzy but shallow, US production. Watchable on a superficial level, only.
I have just completed episode 5 of Citadel and to this point, I am less than impressed .. I usually enjoy this genre, but the direction is all over the place, even confusing at times ..hoping to see some kind of improvement, but I am not holding my breath. Disappointing though, since I am a fan of both the lead actors. 2 🌟🌟
Russo Brothers' expensive mistake which reaches new levels of ordinary Citadel is an expensive & exorbitant mess made out of 1600 crores with which they could have revived countries out of poverty. This stylized, fancy espionage spy thriller is no better than hundreds of spy thriller we have seen in the past. Starting from patchy vfx, forced drama , unegaging characters and mediocre plot twists this has everything to get you dissapointed if you are loyal fan of solid spy thrillers. The screenplay is a victim of uninteresting time jumps which taints every bit of engagement it tried to bring in. Other than Leslie Manville's vicious performance , Citadel fails to deliver even in terms of any other credible performance. The action set pieces other the opening sequence doesn't catch your eyes as all seem mediocre. Overall, if you are someone who binge watches everything popular you may not like Citadel as it feels monotonous and tedious, but if you ocassionaly watch content on your TVs then this might be a good option to try. You might also want to watch this as Amazon is producing a spyverse for Citadel across multiple countries. Indian Edition of Citadel stars Varun Dhawan and Samantha and is being directed by Raj and DK. Citadel S01 also teases thr next chapter Citadel : Diana starring Italian actress Matilda De Angelis which will release in 2024. Instagram & Twitter : @streamgenx
