Kill (5 Stars)


This is the sixth film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

It's an Indian film, made in Hindi, and it's unlike any Indian film I've ever seen before. It has a very simple plot, but the film is effective in what it sets out to do.

Two soldiers, army captains, are travelling on a long distance train. There's a gang on board which intends to rob all the travellers. There are supposedly 36 gang members, but without counting, it seemed like many more were being killed.

It's a narrow train, so all the fights are at close combat. There are only short breaks between one fight and the next. It's violence for the sake of violence, and I was cheering for the heroes throughout the film.

This is the best film in the festival so far, and one of the best films I've seen this year.
