body count

Anybody keep track of the body count in this movie? I genuinely think it must be in the 100s.
Also, the police and the army? Full on open warfare in the streets... where are the press? Where is... pretty much anyone other than the goodies v the baddies? This is some old school action silliness right here. Slick but utterly absurd. Good fun though.

The drug lord owns the town including police and army. Not to mention Im sure not to many people care what is happening in a small corrupt part of a insignificant country.

I thought the same thing..., especially on the bridge. Half of those dudes just showed up to work (specifically the police). The irony is our two 'heroes' just want to get home to their families...no matter how many others don't! #irony

I'm curious too about the body count, the amount of deaths on screen must be a record for a mainstream film.
As for the movie itself; while all out, non stop action, it did get repetitive. Initially the brutality piqued my interest but when you see it over and over again it does lose its appeal. Not to say it wasn't a good film, still enjoyed it for what it was.

I would put this on the same level as John Wick when it comes to body count. But higher on the brutality factor. Might put some people off I think.

i'm surprised there wasn't much caning, given that this is set in India...
