Get ready for a thrilling film that not only entertains but also educates aspiring emergency room (ER) doctors. "Kill" is a gripping film from the talented Indian director, Nikhil Nagesh Bhat. Graphic violence may not be for the faint-hearted, but to medical professionals, this movie can serve as a unique primer on the effects of various traumas on the human body.
The plot revolves around Amrit, an army commando, and his fellow soldier Viresh, who board a train to New Delhi to look for Amrit's love interest, Tulika, whose arranged marriage they aim to prevent. Things take a turn when armed bandits, also known as dacoits, take over the train, robbing the passengers, and cutting off all possible communications. However, they didn't foresee the presence of these highly trained soldiers ready to strike back.
The film soon turns into a panorama of detailed scenes of violent confrontations. The audience is taken through unending spectacles of martial arts moves accompanied by various weapons, bringing about visual depictions of human wounds and widely different traumas. A notable scene that stands out is the use of a fire extinguisher as a bludgeon, leading to devastating effects on the victim's facial aesthetics.

The eponymous "Kill" embarks on its intense action journey only about 45 minutes in, despite the previous graphic violence. The real action breaks out when the main villain commits a highly personal act of brutality that triggers our hero, Amrit, to unleash his full wrath on the bandits.
The fighting sequences are exceptionally choreographed, and while the non-stop action can be numbing, the attention to detail in the depiction of the characters' physical injuries can cause intrigue and fascination, notably for those in the medical profession. The realism can be questioned as our heroes absorb a cutting-edge (literally!) amount of bodily damage but continue to stand strong, shrugging off blows like popular toys - the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.
So, in the likes of John Wick, "Kill" proves to be an exciting, violent action flick that can also serve as an odd way of intake for medical knowledge for aspiring ER doctors. Despite its fierce pace and relentless action scenes, this unorthodox easy-to-watch educational tool showcases an unexpected side to the genre.
