Imagine The Raid but on a train, but in India. Kill is the very simple yet entirely satisfying film about a man who has to brutally fight his way through a train full of mobsters. It is John Wick style violent and Bollywood style earnest, but it is just a really fun ride (pun intended) that is endlessly entertaining.
Star Lakshya has the face (and body) of a movie star and this is a star turn as the very heroic tragic hero. Juyal is a deliciously moustache twirling (metaphorically, although he's as handsome as the lead) villain. This film's plot is basically a fight to the finish, last man standing. Not as ironic or tongue in cheek as Bullet Train, Kill is straight up fight movie that is beautifully filmed and economic in its story telling so we just get the basics... which is all we need.
I appreciated the film's ending even if it was a little on the overly romanticized side. It just felt right after all we saw. Kill delivers and then sticks the landing.
