I will say, excellent for what appears to be a lower budget production. With very few scenes to work with, you made a very excellent movie. The plot felt complete, it was entertaining to watch, however, some characters warranted some more development. Particularly the main character, who is revealed as egotistical, but besides that, has not many more character traits. He occupies plenty of screen-time yet he lacks in dimension. Often he is repeating similar behaviors, and not contributing much of anything positive to the story line. This makes the character exhausting, degrading the plot,; however, other characters fill in this void and become much more significant to the plot. In terms of comical value, the comedy is not well placed, it feels repetitive, and hurts the thriller and mystery aspect of this movie. The movie felt casual, not much got my eye, and with very little connection to the characters, the target genre seemed unapparent. Overall, enjoyable? Yes. Memorable? No.
The main setback is that the vlogger character has way too much screen time and he's tiresome. to see and hear after 20 minutes. Someone so utterly stupid is never funny more than five minutes in because for the rest of the movie you keep thinking, "This would be more fun if he got what he deserved, got dispatched, in the second act, then the show could go on." That would be achieved by making all the Ben Lyk characters responsible for carrying the movie, rather than the putx hwo is stuck at age five all the way through. Yes, in real life utter imbeciles may surive to a mature age, but in entertainment, we are not obliged to reflect that much realism.
I watched an hour of this awful movie and eventually had to give up, acting awful, not funny. Can't believe it's got a 4.8 rating to be honest. Don't waste your time
I'm not sure what happened to British comedy ("cough....woke") but humour is no longer their strong suit.
"Kill Ben Lyk" isn't funny. Its premise and characters follow a predictable tired trajectory, accompanied by hackneyed humour, that's simply put, unintelligent and boring.
I managed about thirty minutes before giving up. The acting is fine but so much else is uninspired, there is little left to say.
May suit the easy pleased but, I suspect, it will irritate the discerning.
3/10.

I'm as up for a jolly good British comedy as the next person, think Hot Fuzz.
But this one's lame and mouldy. Premise is that there are many guys called Ben Lyk in London and someone's out to get them all. May have been a story for a madcap comedy but falls really short of even that ambitious aim.
Strictly if you have absolutely nothing to do and need a downer.
