RDX is a Malayalam action thriller that revolves around three martial artists who reunite after years to face a common enemy. The movie stars Antony Varghese, Shane Nigam and Neeraj Madhav in the lead roles, along with Babu Antony, Lal and Mahima Nambiar in supporting roles. The movie is directed by Nahas Hidayath and produced by Anwar Rasheed.
The movie begins with a flashback that shows the friendship and rivalry between Robert Dony Xavier (Antony Varghese), Donny (Shane Nigam) and Xavier (Neeraj Madhav), who are trained in different martial arts forms by their respective masters. They compete in a national tournament, where Robert emerges as the winner, but also injures Donny and Xavier in the process. This creates a rift between them, and they part ways.
Years later, Robert is a successful businessman and philanthropist, Donny is a police officer and Xavier is a hacker. They are unaware of each other's whereabouts, until they are targeted by a mysterious assassin named RDX (Babu Antony), who has a personal vendetta against them. RDX is a former martial arts champion who was defeated by Robert in the past, and he wants to take revenge on him and his friends. He also has a connection with a powerful politician (Lal), who is involved in illegal activities.
The movie follows the cat-and-mouse game between RDX and the trio, as they try to uncover his identity and motive, while also dealing with their own personal issues. The movie has some thrilling action sequences, especially the climax fight between Robert and RDX, which showcases their skills and techniques. The movie also has some emotional moments, as the trio rediscover their friendship and loyalty.
The movie has some drawbacks, such as the weak characterization of the female characters, the lack of depth in the villain's motive, and the predictable plot twists. The movie also suffers from some editing issues, as some scenes feel rushed or unnecessary. The movie could have been more engaging if it had focused more on the backstory of the characters and their relationship.
RDX is a decent action entertainer that offers some adrenaline-pumping moments and a good performance by Antony Varghese. The movie is not a masterpiece, but it is worth a watch for the fans of martial arts movies. The movie is available on Netflix¹² in Malayalam and in dubbed versions of Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu languages⁵.
