The first half of the film demands your patience for a good amount of the first hour. It is quite dawdling and takes its own time for the setup and build up. For the first hour, you might feel that nothing's really happening and many scenes may seem unnecessary, but by the end of the film, it all makes sense.  The writing is good. The screenplay is uneven.

Talking about direction. Robbie Grewal has some interesting films to his credit. After a whodunit, a teen romance and a comedy, Robbie helm this highly sensitive film with quit panache and authenticity. As aforementioned, there have been many espionage thrillers made in India in the past but Romeo Akbar Walter is the most grounded one. There is no machoism, heroism or even jingoism which makes RAW a unique experience.

John Abraham has performed well. Playing a spy, his eyes do the talking for the most part. Jackie Shroff is at the top of his game. Not only he looks suave as RAW chief, but has also delivered a solid performance. Mouni Roy also done her part very well. Sikandar Kher is superb. It's actually when his character makes an entry, the movie picks up the pace. Raghubir Yadav is also brilliant.

Overall, Romeo Akbar Walter is another interesting film from John Abraham. The movie has enough twists and turns to keep you intrigued and engaged. If you want to watch a good film you can go for it.
