Bhat relishes in the mayhem, and I guess it’s “playful” enough most of the time to be more entertaining than off-putting.

Brian Vernel, Calum Ross and Daniel Portman do good work embodying the differing character traits of the brothers, but it's flashback scenes of Paul Higgins as the chilling patriarch that strike terror into the proceedings.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 14, 2025

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

| Original Score: C- | Sep 21, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 6, 2024

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]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 6, 2024

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

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 4, 2024

Filled with a cornucopia of stabby weapons, Kill is a cut below classic violence ballets like The Raid. Provided you're a fan of close-quarters combat, that’s just fine. You don’t have to be the best at something to be tasty doing it, right Mr. Pibb?

| Original Score: B | Aug 9, 2024

Filled with committed, compelling performances and expertly crafted action scenes, Kill offers something rare; an action film where the stakes truly feel high.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 9, 2024

You've seen it on a plane, you've seen it on a train---and now India takes her maiden voyage into stylized hyper-violence with Kill, a derivative but well choreographed killing spree flick handcrafted for fans of the brutalist sub-genre.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 8, 2024

Exactly what we've always wanted in a summer blockbuster.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 5, 2024

There is more than a slight hint of sadism in the way that these characters dish out such brutality, to a point where you’re no longer sure who you’re meant to be rooting for or even against.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2024

Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s high energy action film Kill is not for the faint hearted. It’s a gripping action thriller which will keep you engaged from the very beginning.

In a movie landscape filled with pretenders, two factors make this savage work of martial arts action stand out.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2024

Kill is a non-stop rush of adrenaline that provides some of the coolest fight sequences of the decade. The mid-movie title card drop is a contender for moment of the year.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jul 22, 2024

There’s a glee to all this carnage that is never not disturbing, even in a silly movie designed to provide late-night thrills to a young and/or drunk audience. It’s good that movies like Kill exist to provide for a safe and cathartic outlet.

There are punches, kicks, shootings, bludgeonings, and more stabbings than a pin cushion factory.

This thing never lets up. I thought it totally delivered on what it promised.

| Jul 13, 2024

Kill absolutely delivers the action but also gets in its own way with the melodrama. Not a bad flick, all the same.

| Jul 12, 2024

While additional time would be appreciated to develop characters further, the overall passion and rage of the characters make for a thrilling adventure.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 12, 2024

[Starts at] a subdued pace, if we’re grading on a curve. But when a pivotal murder occurs around the 45-minute mark, and the title card finally flashes on the screen: watch out!

| Original Score: 80/100 | Jul 12, 2024
