Various reviews have also talked about how the film lacks content and is inconsistent. Though the patriotic feeling is roaring at the moment, many think that the film is ordinary and has nothing much to offer.
Many users have also complained about the screenplay of the film which makes it a tough watch overall. Visually, the film manages to convey a certain raw intensity, but it falls short on polish.
The action sequences are noisy rather than gripping, and the pacing suffers due to hasty editing as stated in several reviews. Unfortunately, the music and background score doesn’t do much to elevate the mood or emotion, making them one of the weaker aspects of the film.
All in all, Ground Zero may be a good watch given the current situation and might inject some adrenaline in the viewers. Going by the reviews, the film is expected to have a decent opening at the theatres but only time will tell how the film will perform.
