Marco aka Pitbull is a killing machine—and the adoptive son of the infamous Adattu family, Kerala’s most powerful gold smuggling syndicate. He would kill, and die, for his family. When his brother is brutally murdered, he vows to avenge him. What ensues is an epic massacre. Since its announcement, Marco has been hailed as one of the most violent Malayalam films of all time—and for good reason, because director Haneef Adeni (Mikhael) truly puts his characters through hell. Marco is a hyperbrutal gorefest testing the limits of cinema: ears are bitten off, extremities sawed off, and worse—much, much worse. (Leonie Markovics)
