Raatchasan (2018)
Interesting ideas but nothing we haven't seen before. Contain obvious plotholes.

Warning: Spoilers
Overall the ideas are interesting but I'm sure most of the reviews already covered these ideas.

Plotholes and conveniences are jarring and annoyed me more than they should because I expected much more from the film:

1) How did a serial killer suspect easily break from his arrest at the hospital? Remember he's not the killer, he's was just a school teacher.

2) How come the school teacher has the same doll in his house? Remember the teacher only invited the student because they use the same taxi.

3) The killer was too overpowered, easily entered the school teacher's house to plant the evidence (like that baby doll). Not to mention overpowering a cop only using playing cards.

4) The cops are so incompetent to the point that the only competent cops in the film are the protagonist and some cop that let the protagonist out of the jail. His supervisor constantly being a hindrance, his friend who has aim a gun at the serial killer yet wouldn't shoot him, and even the protagonist himself sometimes would do stupid things like waiting for the schoolgirl to be captured while sitting in the car for about 1 kilometer away.

5) Almost everyone would see the twist coming from miles away (the serial killer is the son)

Overall, I think it's a solid 7/10. Good thriller but could've been better.
