The film takes its time to establish the story, with a gradual pace in the initial 40 minutes. Unlike Rajinikanth's usual style, the grand introduction scene is missing, aligning with the director's approach.

Director Nelson infuses dark comedy in the first half, with Yogi Babu and Rajinikanth's banter providing levity. The interval block and mass scenes compensate for the initial pacing.

The second half gains momentum with impactful mass scenes and glimpses into Muthuvel's past. However, the climax falls short, appearing dragged and somewhat disappointing.

The film's dark comedy resonates well in Tamil and for those familiar with Nelson's work. Translated versions might lose humor, affecting audience enjoyment.

Rajinikanth shines as a superstar, showcasing trademark Rajini-isms that fans adore. While the father-son bond is explored lightly, Rajini's performance takes center stage.

Anirudh Ravichander's background music elevates the film, but the songs remain moderately average. Vinayakan's impressive acting leaves an impact, adding to the film's depth.

Rajinikanth's charisma endures, yet it might not be enough to rescue 'Jailer.' The film highlights his iconic style but falls short of its potential.
