So, 'Kill or Be Killed' is one of those gritty action flicks from the early '90s that really leans into the themes of brotherhood and betrayal. Michael Julian, played by a lesser-known actor, brings this raw intensity after his prison stint. The pacing is relentless, with every moment dripping with tension as he navigates this twisted world where his brother, Charlie, is now a powerful drug lord. The practical effects are pretty solid for the time—definitely not polished, but they add to the film's rough charm. And let's talk about the atmosphere; it’s got that grimy underbelly feel of urban crime that just pulls you in. Overall, it’s a straightforward but engaging watch if you're into the darker side of action cinema.
