KILL ( 2024 )

This is the 2nd movie that I went to see at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max in Fairfield, CA on Tuesday, July 9th, 2024, a $6.99 All-Day Bargain Tuesday. The price of admission was $6.99! I brought 1½ cups of Haldiram's Khatta Meetha to snack on; after all, what's a Bollywood movie without a Bollywood snack? 🤷‍♂️ I also had a Dole Strawberry Pineapple packet to flavor my iced 20 oz ( 591 ml ) Aquafina Bottled Water.

Auditorium 3, B-9

Scene Commentaries:

His girlfriend's name, Tulika, in a Pilipino language, almost sounds like the Bisayan Tuli Ka ( You're Circumcised ) with a hard emphasis on the 2nd syllable, "-Lî"!  😉 ( Hey, I didn't come up with the words or invent the languages; or even the diacritic caret accent symbol. I'm just the messenger!  😁 😁 😁 )

The bad guys used a cellphone signal scrambler. And they confiscated cellphones so that no one would be able to call for help. But, at the same time, there were cops in one of the coaches who--one would think--whiled the time away on the long trip by using their own 'phones for one reason or other.  😕

First off, after they each subdued some bad guys, they should have taken the bad guys' knives with them! The last thing that you want to happen in a fight is to break your Knuckles, dislocate your Fingers and/or sprain your Wrists because they're your primary defenses, especially since you don't know how many bad guys there are for you to tangle with❗Take a hint from professional Boxers. 🥊

There is a scene wherein the Good Guy blocked a bad guy who thrusted a straight blade knife 🔪 at his face. The bad guy could have easily slashed the Good Guy's forearm with just a flick of the wrist!  😒

When a bad guy bullrushed the Good Guy to the floor, if he was really an Army Commando, he could have easily killed the bad guy before the bad guy's butt even hit the floor!  🙄

And there were scenes wherein Army Commando Good Guy could have quickly killed the bad guys using just his bare hands with one of two easy strikes. 🤐 And another quick & easy strike to stun the bad guy before transitioning to either of the 2 strikes mentioned above; or easily maim the bad guy for life.  🤨  There are also 2 quick Knockout Strikes that I didn't see used in any of the fight scenes.  😐  I must've blinked ....  😑

And the other Good Guy got his Left Trapezius Muscle sliced by a Kukri Knife while Main Good Guy got his Left Pectoral Muscle stabbed with a knife. I'm sorry ... BUT the reality of either situation should have rendered both Good Guys unable to fight from that point on.  😬

And both of them also received stab wounds to their Abdomens! They should have started to bleed-out at that point!  🙁  A bladed weapon can yield very scary open wounds of its victim❗😨

He got hit with a crowbar many times. Yet, was still able to fight.  😒

The Fire Extinguisher 🧯 scene was good!  👍

And so was the Cigarette Lighter Fluid scene!  👌

When he kicked-in the window, a nearby bad guy didn't hear it!  🤦‍♂️

"Do I need to die to be with you?"  🥺

Pay Very Close Attention! Here's 👉The BEST👈 Self-Defense Technique against a knife attack:

The bad guys didn't even need knives or clubs to beat the Good Guy! He was boxed-in, front & back. All that the bad guys had to do was to rush at him simultaneously from either direction to crowd against him and take him down then pile on top of him! The End Of The Action Movie!  🎬

This movie's Tough Guy Fighter's fighting skills is pure fantasy that will just get any one of you foolish, impressionable & delusional guys killed in real life❗ Don't play "movie guy" action hero in the real world ❗❗ Fighting for your life or the lives of your loved ones should only be as A Last Option because anything can happen, And Not Necessarily In Your Favor❗❗❗ 

There's no shame in walking--or running--away from a fight! Think of your initial encounter as an expeditionary assessment of the enemy's strengths & weaknesses, and your retreat as a strategic move so that you can better prepare yourself for such an encounter in the future❗👍

BUT if it must come down to IT, remember the 3 Rules Of Fighting For Your Life: 

1) Don't Hesitate, 

2) Don't Hold Back, 

and 3) Don't Show Mercy!!!

Or as they say it in the US Military, "Shock & Awe"❗

Tidbits:

After this movie ended, I took some time to go over my notes. Then, I went to my car to put my stuff in the trunk/boot of my Saturn SC-1. It was kind of cold outside--either that or my body cooled down while I was reviewing my movie notes in the theatre lobby. 

So, I put on my spare varsity-style black fleece jacket before I walked around the block. I should carry a reflectorized vest 🦺 in each of my cars for my evening walks and for use in an emergency.  😕

I covered a total of ....

5.71 kilometers 

5.50 km

The House passed the Bill requiring Proof of Citizenship to Vote! I mean, it shouldn't even have been a point of discussion! Where else in the whole wide world can you invade a country and be allowed to vote in national--even local--elections ❓ NOWHERE, THAT'S WHERE❗

All of the 198 DEMON-crats who voted, "Nay," just implicated themselves in a Premeditated Act of TREASON❗ Folks, grab yourselves lots of popcorn! 🍿👌🙂👍🥤

And this woman, below, is NOW The Only US Citizen in her own apartment building, a stranger in her own land❗😠❗😡❗🤬❗
