Cadaver follows the story of a string of murders allegedly committed by a prisoner while still behind bars. What is the mystery behind it? The story is pretty good but alas we as an audience has been accustomed to so many thrillers that none of it seems novel anymore. In other words, the story has its share of twists and turns but it doesn’t shock you in anyway. The screenplsy standing at exactly 2 hours makes for a brisk watch.

The drama has a good premise with a murder being committed against an interesting setup. The prisoner being behind bars predicts the next victim every now and then resulting in an interesting cat and mouse chase. The forensics bit adds a nice little layer to the drama which is engrossing and engaging to begin with.

Things are slightly indifferent as the grip on the drama loosens every now and then. The proceedings move at the same wavelength and they never rise above the writing material. Having said that, this drama is consistently watchable with its twists and turns every now and then which will keep you guessing in the first hour.

Things stutter further in the second hour when the drama gets slightly predictable as far as the motive is concerned. I was slightly disconnected in the middle of the second half which could have been tighter barring a few of the cliches which are the regular tropes of a thriller. This until the final act does its bit to rescue the film and make it a decently good watch. Overall, the screenplay has its moment although it could have been tighter.
