Kill

A film a little too pleased with its own ultraviolence. Still, genre fans will admire the ceaseless mayhem of this rare Indian entry to the carnage canon.

After a groan-inducing 15 minutes of exposition, “Kill” lets go of all that baggage to become an outright blast while making a convincing argument for Lakshya becoming our next big action star.

The fight scenes are extremely well choreographed, filmed and edited, but they're so relentless in their non-stop pacing that the viewing experience becomes numbing.

It's a splendidly overcooked mix of heart-torn melodrama romance, and stabby, punch action... almost everyone gets punched and stabbed at least once, and they usually keep going. It moves like a bullet.

Kill lives up to its name, and then some: this is a breathless, ferociously gory action film, on a level rarely seen before in Indian cinema.

Manipulative to the max, “Kill” is dizzyingly impressive and punishingly vicious.

Resorts to the most tired, risible, dated trope for providing motivation to the male protagonist – fridging the girlfriend.

Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's latest film delves into a dark and bloody narrative with a simple plot. A train turned into a battlefield, where revenge and violence intertwine with total brutality. Full review in Spanish.

Kill is constructed as the bloodiest of soap operas, with heroes and villains united in an almost uncontrollable death drive. Enough to entertain but also, to ponder what's behind the extreme violence as the sole driving force. [Full review in Spanish]

Kill is a violent spectacle that will probably attract fans of exploitation films with excess. For better and for worse. [Full review in Spanish]
