The makers of “Jailer” toggle between emotional registers with confidence and alarming frequency.

It is the kind of film that quite happily declares to us that whatever type of dinosaur Rajinikanth may be, he is never the type to get extinct.

It's a familiar path told endless times.

Jailer is yet more of the same type of long-winded revenge action tale with fake-looking stunts, mediocre-to-bad acting, and an absurd plot that doesn't look believable.
