This is quite an interesting film. It looks like a video game, but it has both action and emotional elements. I enjoyed it.
Its john wick, edge of tomorrow, kill bill & taken all mixed into one fresh, funny action movie with occasional LOL one liners. great casting, the pace of movie can be improved for certain slow scenes.
Frank Grillo at his best, supported by a good cast and a cool script. The one-liners are a highlight in this film, as they give away the smart, fast-paced story and the swag of Grillo as an action lead actor. The action starts right away; this is not a boring movie by any means. Can't say much about the plot as this might be a spoiler but if you like action/comedy/sci-fi with a big splash of coolness, then that's your jam! 9/10 for the fun!
Greetings from Lithuania.
After i read a premise of "Boss Level" (2021) is decided to watch it as a guilty pleasure on a boring evening - i did not believed this movie will be any good somehow but i liked the premise on paper. What i can say after watching it, is that you don't judge a book by its cover, because "Boss Level" really delivers.
This movie was superbly paced - at running time 1 h 38 min it never dragged and was interesting from start till finish. The story here was an interesting one and involving. Directing was very solid and basically because of good directing this movie was actually really good one. Action scenes (and there are plenty of them) were very well made.
Overall, "Boss Level", no matter how stupid its title is and it maybe sounds on paper - was actually a very entertaining flick. Don't take it too seriously and you will be pleasantly surprised.

There are more levels of meaning to this film than may be obvious. With the number of highbrow story elements compressed into 100 mins (causality loops, DNA coded missing mass, Egyptian mythology and catastrophism) it would have been very easy to overwhelm and confuse the audience with too many ideas - but Boss Level doesn't. The story is well told, very well paced and seems to make a point of intentionally evolving from chaotic and complex to calm and clear. Clive Ventor's plan is horrific but logical and it's eventually revealed that Roy Pulver really only ever had one job from the start. When he devises his final, final, final, FINAL plan, despite everything that's happened, it makes perfect sense and also provides a valuable message about not giving up - even when you know the situation is completely hopeless.
What could have been just a nihilistic Groundhog Day shoot 'em up turns out to be something far more intelligent and emotionally engaging. Good ending too.
Did you know
- TriviaFrank Grillo's actual son Rio Grillo plays his son Joe in the movie.
- GoofsWhen Roy extracts the tracker from his tooth and shows it to Dave, the tracking device has an LED that's flashing. While it is understandable that this might be done to make this plot device clearer to see for the viewers, it is very silly to have a blinking light on an implantable tracker. The light would serve no use, and LED lights consume an awful lot of energy.
- Alternate versionsThere is an alternate cut of this movie that's about 6 minutes longer than the US Hulu release. It contains a few alternate editing choices, and a scene missing from the Hulu release.
- The opening studio logos list "MoviePass" where "Hulu" would be.
- After the logos, a character select screen reminiscent of an arcade beat 'em up game introduces our main protagonist and scrolls past a few of villains that will appear in the movie.
- The scene that kicks off the Hulu version is almost identical, however, the MoviePass cut starts off with the title card "Attempt 139".
- At the end of the movie, when Roy uses the Osiris Spindle to reset the day and end the time loop for good, it immediately cuts to credits, leaving us to wonder whether or not he succeeds in his final mission. (Hulu's cut does not make this ambiguous).
