(ESP-ENG) Kill: Masacre en el tren | Pure violence - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
There is a film industry somewhat unknown to many but which is honestly a real madness: Bollywood. This film, already called probably the most violent in the history of Indian cinema, is a shot of adrenaline to the body and from the beginning of it we are shown the premise that it will be the typical film where revenge, fights and unimaginable ways to die will be the order of the day. Cinema from that part of the world, say India, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia is usually extremely graphic and crude, they don't go too much with family friendly stuff there, when they make a movie with a lot of everything they really go all out. This one was no exception, just over an hour and a half full of fast-paced action.
In India, and in many countries for that matter, arranged marriages are still very much the norm and this will be the origin of this story. Amrit Rathod is an army captain who is deeply in love with Tulika, the daughter of a tycoon who has already decided on a husband for her. They do not agree and they will try to be together at all costs and for that they have to reach New Delhi by train. What they do not know is that the train is about to be assaulted by a very large gang that will obviously endanger all passengers, including our protagonists. Reading this I guess more or less that they will know where the thing goes and yes, this captain along with a companion in arms traveling with him will be responsible for putting an end to the threat posed by this family of thieves.
But make no mistake, many may think that this is an empty story full of action and senseless violence but it is not, everything has a reason and to my surprise one of the most important edges of the plot is love; this will be the real engine that drives Amrit to act the way you will see him throughout the film. I really enjoy this kind of films because the main purpose of them is to entertain, to keep you spellbound staring at the screen with the sequences of hand-to-hand fights and the macabre and ingenious ways of dying that our protagonists choose for their rivals. I tell you that it is impossible to get bored because this thriller is not made for that, the tension that you live in that train is real and full of adrenaline.
Everything that has to do with the visuals is incredible because you have to take into account that this takes place in the corridors of a train where space is limited so everything becomes very claustrophobic and where despite that the fight scenes are of high level, I was very surprised by the great mobility and skill of some of these actors. If doing a choreography of this style is complicated, imagine doing it in a place less than 1 meter wide. We must also talk about how graphic it is, there is a lot of blood, many knives, broken bones, shattered faces, slit throats; an endless number of deaths that make the film even more eye-catching. If you are a fan of this kind of things I assure you that you will enjoy it.
Speaking of the characters and their performances, something must be said. These actors are not the same as the ones from this side of the pond, their performances are much more vivid and more emotional but not because of a script decision but because that's how they really are, in front of the camera they seem to overact but it's not so, I think it's part of their idiosyncrasy. Having said that, the actors are not bad, especially the protagonist Laksh Lalwani who has nothing to envy to any good western martial arts actor. Good fighting skills and definitely knows what he is doing in front of the camera. All the other characters are in the same vein, but he stands out for obvious reasons.
In short, a film full of action, suspense, a very violent but satisfying thriller. It also has its emotional part, as I said love will be the fuel here that will seek to soften the plot a little and give it a necessary contrast. Highly recommended, personally I enjoyed it a lot. I give it an 8/10. The purpose of the film is fulfilled to perfection. It lasts a little over an hour and a half. I leave the trailer below.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!

La descripción de las escenas de pelea en un espacio tan reducido suena impresionante; debe ser un verdadero desafío para los actores. Es interesante cómo mencionas que sus actuaciones pueden parecer sobreactuadas, pero en realidad es parte de su estilo. Eso le da un toque único a las producciones de esa región. Me gusta que le des un 8/10, eso indica que, a pesar de sus excesos, logra cumplir con su objetivo de entretener. Gracias por compartir.
Si te gusta el género y que todo sea extremadamente violento pues esta es la película para ti. Este cine tiende a ser infravalorado, este film demuestra que no se debería de pensar así. Es muy top.
