Shreyaas Krishna's cinematography is one of the major USPs of the film. Raveena Ravi, in a short role, is effective. The other members of the gangster world are aptly cast making the film look solid, in terms of performances.
Having used to see Bharathiraja in light-hearted and subtle roles, this one is a shocker. Bharathiraja comes in with a handy performance that adds vitality to the character that he plays. He carries the intense mood of the film through his eyes and his determination to play Rocky is highly appreciable. Vasanth Ravi delivers a fantastic performance as Rocky. Rocky effectively showcases the plight of the female characters in the film, who get dominated and traumatized by the men in their world. The film also has solid stretches that keep you glued to the screens, especially the climax, which is a stunner. The makers need to be credited for executing a long single-take shot featuring Vasanth Ravi and Raveena Ravi seamlessly without any hassle. However, one has to admit that Rocky is a daring attempt in Tamil cinema that needs to be noted. The blood is on your face and the violence isn't diluted at any cost and depending upon your taste in films, Rocky might or might not appeal to you. But, if you don't connect with the mood of the film, then Rocky might not be your cup of tea. If you adapt to the world of Rocky and move along its leisurely pace, you are in for an exciting ride.
Rocky is an art-house film that demands a certain level of patience.
The film has quite a few interesting underlined messages and philosophies which make sense and these moments would be a treat for film lovers. Rocky is a gritty action drama that takes the fullest freedom of the 'A' certificate and uses it to its strengths.
