Kill

"This foreign language action flick was a decent watch only because of the ultra violence and inventive kills. When a large family in India decides to rob a train, things don't go their way and a soldier fights back. But when the soldier's fiance gets killed, he goes on a blood soaked rampage to get revenge. The story is dumb but the gory fight sequences make up for the rest of its shortcomings. 6.5/10"

"This is how I felt after watching The Night Comes For Us. It’s like, I’m a huge action movie fan and all but dude, do you have to be that violent, that brutal? It makes you feel like you’re part of the problem, while you still can’t pull your eyes away. Standard against all odds, one against 50, LFG. But this one has some cool quirks. It’s set on a train. The pre/post thing is jarring but really cool. The star, Lakshya Raghav Juyal, looks the part and is all kinds of sexy. I went to see this at the movies on the third weekend post release and they had already pulled it. Have been bummed since. "

"Wow! What an incredible movie this is! Intense and exhilarating, it also does not forget to take breathers to set up the stakes to the keep the viewer invested, which it does remarkably effectively (and efficiently) with a simple storyline. Phenomenal stunt choreography (with effective use of space within the train, where it takes place for much of the running time) along with editing and sound design. None of this would be effective without the charismatic central film debut performance by Lakshya (cannot believe this is his first movie (although he had TV roles before)), who does an effective job at both the emotional and action scenes with equal degree of conviction. He is further complimented by the direction and writing by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, who never loses focus throughout the 1 hour 40 minutes runtime. This is easily one of my favorite moviegoing experiences in recent times, and a film that deserves to be watched by all (especially in theaters). My new favorite film of the year so far. Very highly recommended."

"This was done in the john wick style. One Highly trained individual against superior numbers. Add to that the claustrophobic train environment and you have some intense close quarters combat. This does excel with the action and brutality. The fight scenes are very well choreographed. There was also a message about society with the bandits on the train…or at least I think there was. Not being familiar with the culture, I think they felt justified as they were the bottom of the bottom and didn’t have the advantages of the higher class. He was not nearly as an efficient killer as wick and it felt like they were doing things just to keep the story going. Once his loved ones were in danger I don’t believe he would have continued to try and be non-lethal or need any manufactured catalyst. It is a bit too long and gets into the unbelievable territory. Overall, its pretty solid and worth a watch. This is in Hindu, and you will have to read the subtitles.

"It starts off as a romance and then turns into a blood bath. Excellent movie. "
