'Rocky Handsome': Convincing action, low on emotions

Packed with maniac action sequences, John Abraham starrer "Rocky Handsome" is a typical dark, moody and coarsely crafted crime drama that is based on the 2010 released Korean film "Man from Nowhere". It is the story of a retired special agent Kabir Ahlawat aka Rocky in the sinning state of Goa, where drugs, child trafficking, organ trade and brutal killings are the norm of the day. How he forges an unlikely bond with his neglected young neighbour, Naomi and takes it upon himself to protect the little child from violent criminals who kidnap her, forms the crux of the tale. Director Nishikant Kamat’s "Rocky Handsome" is a poor replica of the original as it lacks an emotional connect.
