Boy Kills World (2023) User Reviews

I hate to compare, but here I am comparing.

[ghettoplex · 7/10 · 29 April 2024]

Here we are in 2024 with another revenge film. I had just seen Monkey Man over a month ago, a revenge film which I also enjoyed.

Boy Kills World was already on my radar, before watching Monkey Man, but I didn't think I would be in a situation where I would be comparing the two. Until now, after watching Boy Kills World.

Without spoilers, both men go through a similar journey of a traumatic event happening in their childhood. With Monkey Man being more of a drama and Boy Kills World being more of a comedy.

However, I will say Boy Kills World has a more creative narrative structure and stronger choreography than Monkey Man. It also has replay value, I will definitely watch Boy Kills World again, much sooner than revisiting Monkey Man.

Knows exactly what it is

[masonsaul · 8/10 · 30 April 2024]

Boy Kills World is a total blast. A winning combination of brutal violence and weird humour tied together in a story that does enough to make you care about the characters. It moves efficiently, has some clever twists and an unforgettable fight involving a cheese grater. Like all the best action comedies, the zany humour disguises the beating heart at the centre.

Bill Skarsgård proves he doesn't need dialogue to communicate. He can do so much with just his eyes and the fact that it all syncs up really well with H. Jon Benjamin's suitably over the top voice over is just a bonus. Plus he has an adorable rapport with Quinn Copeland. Andrew Koji isn't given a chance to show off his physical prowess but is given the time to show how surprisingly great he is at comedy.

Mortiz Mohr's direction nails the balance between self awareness and sincerity, translating some of the language of video games to cinema effectively. With cinematography by Peter Matjasko, the camera moves with the action rather than against it. It's always fluid and bloody inventive, saving the best fight for last. It's the kind of final fight where the choreography is impeccable, the blows are nasty and it goes on for so long it's exhausting in the best ways.

A gory action fun time

[chronic_nightmare · 8/10 · 29 April 2024]

If you like revenge movies with a twist and tons of mindless goons being evicerated for your entertainment then you will enjoy this movie 👍🏻 I am one of those people 👍🏻 My expectations were quite low but by the end I had a great time and it was much better than I originally thought. The fight scenes are really well done and there are some laughs thrown in (especially when Boy played by Skarsgard is trying to lip read someone) Bill Skarsgard is awesome in this and I hope he continues to do more action roles. Don't watch this if you dont like blood on screen, have an irrational fear of cheese graters or your with your nan 👌🏻

Surprisingly fresh

[neyumi · 7/10 · 23 April 2024]

This movie is narrated by H. Jon Benjamin. If that doesn't tell you exactly what kind of movie this is, let me explain:

This is what Archer would be if it was a little more dramatic and a lot more bloody.

Oldboy if it were half as brilliant with a little bit of slapstick thrown in.

The Hunger Games if it didn't treat death and murder was all that bad - like it was written by a gamer of the FPS variety.

Did I cringe at the squelching bloody noises? Yes. Did I laugh out loud in the theater? Also yes. Was the revenge story worthwhile? I think so. Outside all of the action, the story was not terrible, and the characters had character. Worth a watch, but doubt it'll change anyone's life.

Lots of blood, quite a few laughs.

[Lomax343 · 7/10 · 29 April 2024]

Boy (That's his name) witnesses the murder of his family at the hands of goons who work for the dysfunctional crime family who run a dystopian city at an unspecified location and date. Boy is rescued by the Shaman, who subjects him to a brutal regime of martial arts training, so that he grows up to be a lethal killing machine (Bill Skarsgard), whose sole purpose is revenge.

So far, so seen-it-all-before, so yada-yada-yada. Boy Kills World, however, brings enough originality to the old tropes that the viewer is happy to go along with things as they take increasingly-bizarre turns. To start with, Boy is a deaf-mute. He can read lips, and hears a voice-over in his head. He's also haunted by the ghost of his younger sister, who acts as his guide and moral conscience.

Naturally, he embarks on his elaborate revenge, leaving a trail of bodies killed in inventive and extremely bloody ways. There's a lot of John Wick, and a big slice of The Running Man. There are also a surprising number of laughs, with great comedic performances from Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, Sharlto Copley and Andrew Koji. Gotta love June27 as well.

As you'd expect, there's also a twist at the end, but it's twisty enough to pack a punch.

This is not high art. This is not a film that rewards analysis. Nothing about it is outstanding, and its plot-holes have plot-holes. If, however, you can switch your brain off and go long for the ride, it's a wild and satisfying one.

stylish, fresh, funny, deep, refreshingly new, and full of surprises

[Blue-Grotto · 9/10 · 27 September 2023]

In a cruel and unjust society of the future a shaman of the forest raises an orphaned city boy who he snatched from a murderous female dictator. The boy is trained for one thing: revenge. The shaman and the boy both are similarly motivated in this task as they each lost their families to the same gang of ruthless thugs.

Inspired by a smattering of graphic novels, Boy Kills World is stylish, fresh, funny, deep, refreshingly new, and full of surprises. The fight scenes are kinetic, realistic, and authentic. Novel action sequences include a shredding with a cheese grater and an anvil to the face. The characters are multi-dimensional and intriguing. They are portrayed by wonderful actors including Yayan Ruhian (shaman), Bill Skarsgard (boy), and Jessica Rothe (June 27).

Interestingly, the film combines American, Asian, and European action preferences, and was shot in Africa. I needed the director, Moritz Mohr, to point this out to me and could not recognize this myself. Mohr attended the question-and-answer session after the world premiere screening at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The story and themes were extremely compelling. The film really made me think about how the media influences national narratives and cult followings. Media influencers make a crazy and malevolent person seem like a hero (just look around today). I loved this film. We even received delicious macaroons as we exited the theater (boy has a soft spot for macaroons).

A full-throttle romp into absolute mayhem

[courtrainacorn · 7/10 · 23 April 2024]

I got the chance to see this movie early at an AMC Unseen Screen event -- and considering I was walking in thinking they were going to show the new Amy Winehouse biopic -- I was pleasantly surprised when we got our opening shots and realized I was in for a much different ride than I'd previously anticipated.

My immediate reaction is to compare Boy Kills World to John Wick -- it's certainly just as bloody. But the continuous underlying thread of humor throughout this movie juxtaposed with the gratuitous violence puts it more into the realm of Bullet Train in my mind.

Bill Skarsgård's physical acting paired with H. Jon Benjamin's voice acting was a matchup I never knew I needed in my life. There were several times where I genuinely laughed out loud -- even when the next scene was a quick crash to someone getting their head smooshed. They did a great job blending the action with the comedy while still getting you to care about the main character and his plight.

Definitely not for the weak of heart or stomach -- but if you're looking for a bloody fun romp through absolute mayhem that doesn't require much from you as a viewer, then you've found your film. I just saw it last night and I still say I'd for sure go see it again, even so soon after viewing.

Quite a ride

[olixgam-3 · 9/10 · 23 April 2024]

I came with no expectations (Monday mystery movie) and left quite intrigued. It is an odd combination of action, humor and splatter style gore, but it works in its own way. The story seemed cookie cutter at first, but then did surprise me at points. The acting is more than adequate and the action choreography simply phenomenal, with exceptional camera work.

At many times the movie felt like an homage and some of the shots maybe not looked, but felt familiar to me.

If you like John Wick, you more than likely will enjoy this tremendously. I can't quite see myself rewatching it, though, which is why it's only a 9/10.

Blood Drenched, Hyper Violent, Intense Action Pic That Plays More Like a Rated M Video Game Than a Film

[RightOnDaddio · 6/10 · 23 April 2024]

It's called Boy Kills World, not Boy Meets World. So as not to get those two titles confused. It can happen, until you sit down to watch this one.

It's not going to be confused with any arthouse, fancy cinema fare, either.

There is an audience for this and they will be completely entertained and walk out of this experience totally satisfied.

I'm just not a part of that audience.

It's a decent flick.

Just based on the inspired casting and the look of the whole movie alone, it has to be a six.

But I have to stop there.

If you're well versed in action films that predate, I'd say, 2010, then you've seen this movie before and with better execution and certainly a better, more detailed storyline.

The fight sequences are solid but the rest of it is not.

The protagonist is a deaf mute who's hellbent on revenge.

Only we hear his inner thoughts.

A lot.

He talks so much in voiceover that it gets old super quick and it never stops.

The whole movie.

A quip here.

A deep thought there.

Thoughts on this. Thoughts on that.

He may be kicking major butts but he's a regular chatty Cathy on the inside.

Good grief.

There's still things to love about this movie.

Famke Janssen (Rounders), Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) two of my all time crushes.

Love them still and love them both here. Lots.

Yayan Ruhian (The stellar Raid films) and Brett Gelman (The Other Guys, Stranger Things) Love those dudes!

And I totally get Bill Skarsgard trying TJ distance himself from It, and rip himself up for this role.

But as good as this movie looks, and everybody in here is good in their parts.

It's just not a great movie.

It could be great with better writing and less voiceover.

There are far superior movies out there about vengeance.

Boy not only Kills World, he kills this movie.

Oddly enough, as I consumed this film, it reminded me of a few female driven action movies of the last thirty years or so: Tank Girl, Aeon Flux, and Ultraviolet.

I won't even bother to explain it but it just does.

There is an end scene of some substance that's worth sticking around for.

"Do you know how hard it was to get them to sponsor mass murder?"

[FeastMode · 4/10 · 23 April 2024]

Boy Kills World is unique, outrageous, over-the-top, violent and bloody. It's dark and fun at the same time. The premise is highly intriguing, especially when it comes to the main character and a few of his attributes. Everything I just described makes it seem like this movie is catered specifically for me. These are the exact kinds of movies I go for.

So why didn't I like it more? It's hard to say. Aside from a few really cool fight scenes, I maxed out at "mildly enjoyable." It wasn't hooking me like it should. For most of the movie I felt like, "it's fine."

The action is sometimes awesome, fast-paced and brutal. A scene involving a cheese grater stands out. But other times, the fight scenes are hectic, shaky and unclear. This can also describe the story as a whole. It always feels off. And later in the movie they introduce story elements I didn't buy at all.

One thing I'll concede, this movie is highly relevant. We continue to see totalitarian governments around the world silencing dissent using brutal methods. Dehumanization is prevalent. The answer to the quote in my headline is... not hard at all. I won't specify because my review will be taken down. But we've seen massive boycotts of companies profiting from mass murder. Not to mention the educational institutions as we watch mass protests on college campuses across America.

(1 viewing, early screening Marcus Mystery Movie 4/22/2024)

Funny and bloody.

[cliff-33421 · 8/10 · 23 April 2024]

I previewed this film during the Regal Mystery Monday event.

I will preface this by saying that action is my least favorite genre, but I will give the film an honest review based on its qualities rather than my personal opinion.

"Boy Kills World" is funny, bloody, and over-the-top in every regard.

If "Cabin in the Woods" and "Kill Bill" had a baby, it would grow up to be "Boy Kills World."

Bill Skarsgård and Famke Janssen work well together. I loved the television series "Hemlock Grove" back in 2013. Bill Skarsgård has obviously been hitting the gym hard, as he is absolutely shredded in "Boy Kills World."

If you enjoy the comedic bloodbath trope, then this will surely be enjoyable for you.

Very, very odd and excessively gory, I think it would have worked better as an animation.

[sbweightman · 6/10 · 27 April 2024]

The setting is similar to the Hunger Games with its totalitarian state, televised culling, opulent ruling class and underdog revolutionaries but it's a bit tone deaf, swinging between quirky black humour and serious political issues. The plot has one too many surprises and pacing issues and it doesn't really develop its larger than life characters, although they do look quite iconic. The fight scenes were mostly good if completely unbelievable with plenty over the top violence - one in particular was very bizarre and entertaining - but something about them, and the production as a whole, looked and felt off.

entertaining, well-acted, but surprisingly disappointing

[stevencayer · 5/10 · 28 April 2024]

It's not every day I leave a movie feeling surprisingly disappointed. BOY KILLS WORLD is the new bloody action comedy, the feature-length directorial debut of Moritz Mohr. It's actually based on a short film he made, of the same name. It tells the tale of Boy (Bill Skarsgård), whose family is executed by the tyrannical Van Der Koy family, leaving him deaf and mute. Trained by a mysterious shaman (Yayan Ruhian from the RAID movies), he goes on the well-tread path of revenge. I enjoyed some of this movie. It has a very talented cast, including Michelle Dockery from DOWNTON ABBEY, Brett Gilman from STRANGER THINGS, Sharlto Copley from DISTRICT 9, and H. Jon Benjamin as Boy's inner voice. As a fan of both ARCHER and BOB'S BURGERS, every time I hear Jon's voice, I smile. It's a shame that this movie didn't have a better screenplay. It really dragged the experience down. The fight choreography was fun and inventive, when the camera wasn't shaking around the scene. It became clear that the director was inspired by video games and the HUNGER GAMES, with some JOHN WICK thrown into the mix. The tone is all over the place. The humour almost never sticks the landing, except for one recurring bit involving failed lip reading. The story becomes overly complex for what it should be. With a lack of character development and world-building, it never really pulled me in. I think you should definitely see BOY KILLS WORLD, maybe don't spend your hard-earned money on it.

Oh boy...

[Pjtaylor-96-138044 · 7/10 · 2 May 2024]

On paper (and even, I suppose, in practice), the obnoxious narration that underscores most of 'Boy Kills World (2023)' should be the most annoying thing in the world. However, it doesn't take too long for the movie's haphazardly off-kilter vibe to win you over, which thankfully includes the constant inner voice of its deaf and non-verbal protagonist (his eardrums and tongue are painfully removed in flashback). It's not perfect, of course, but each unhinged and unrefined aspect of the piece adds up to the overall frenzied, fever-dream aesthetic that makes this ultraviolent actioner stand out from some of its peers (even though that same aesthetic also pushes the piece into that all-too-familiar post-'Deadpool (2015)' blob that so many people find so very grating). If you can get on its level and just go along with its overworked madness, you're likely to have quite a bit of fun despite the genuine roughness of each and every element (mostly when it comes to the narrative and tone, rather than the filmmaking itself). What makes it easier to do that is the balls-to-the-wall brutality of its frenetic fight sequences. Even though some earlier set-pieces are perhaps a little tamer than you'd like (in terms of gore and excitement), the flick makes up for it with a riotous third act that features a phenomenal final fight that amps up the viciousness of the previously sometimes weightless body-dropping by lessening the scale and increasing the stakes. It's a really good climax and it's what clinches the overall experience as one I'd easily recommend. That's not to imply that everything prior to that is bad, of course. There are several enjoyable action scenes that make good use of gruesome gags (that cheese grater bit had everyone in the cinema wincing) and accomplished choreography. Although it's a bit more ragged than some similarly highly designed stuff, it works well for what it is and the filmmaking leans into its desired aesthetic by including some stylishly abstract shots that put the focus on the feel of certain moments rather than their mechanics. This, in turn, helps to keep us locked into the perspective of the protagonist, which itself gives the film's big reveal the weight it deserves. This twist (which I partially - but not fully - guessed very early on) is a little silly, sure, but it's no more absurd than the rest of the purposefully strange picture and it transforms the initially cut-and-dry 'good vs bad' theming into something surprisingly - and thrillingly - ambiguous. The flick ends up finding an unexpectedly strong emotional core, which makes its final fight even more powerful. Ultimately, this is a flawed but fun action film that's as vicious as it is bizarre. Although its quirkiness is overtly manufactured and toes the line between being charming and annoying, its aesthetic and atmosphere end up being what makes it feel as unique and entertaining as it is. It's easy to see why some people wouldn't like it, but I find it really enjoyable.

Gory, but missing something

[crazyperson-10193 · 6/10 · 29 April 2024]

I wanted to like this more than I did.

The fight scenes were fun, and the gore was excessive, but I couldn't bring myself to care all that much.

I think it might have to do with the mismatch between John Benjamin's voice and the actor playing the boy.

I couldn't quite reconcile them as being the same person so it felt like the entire movie was being narrated like MSTK or something.

Also some of the shaky camera fights were hard to make out in between limbs breaking.

I was relieved to see a new IP and it deserves to be supported, but I would say this was more of a rental or even a matinee movie.

Silent World

[kosmasp · 9/10 · 21 April 2024]

As opposed to Silent Night - sorry John Woo! No pun intended too - I think I might have to change the rating for that other movie ... and rate it lower/weaker ... or come back to this and give it a 10 I reckon. We'll see - but as it is now and because I thought certain things are probably a bit too weird for some ... I decide to stick with a solid 9.

Bill is amazing in this and it is nice to see S. Copley in top form! Also the Mentor/Shaman .. you can tell someone did their homework! Great casting overall! Even the main bad woman - she is just perfect. Optically speaking but also character wise ... at least it feels like that.

The movie has a strange humor and many cool ideas! The director already showed with his previous (German) movie that he knows and loves weird ... I am happy for him and happy I was able to watch this! We also get a lot of violence ... it is predictable! I do believe that you can tell what the big twists are going to be ... but it does not deter from the fun you can have ... up until the last fight ... and even after the credits (one minor bonus scene is there for you to enjoy) ... dig in!

Oh Boy

[cutie7 · 6/10 · 29 April 2024]

"Boy Kills World" bursts onto the screen with a splash of gore and a dollop of style, marking the directorial debut of Moritz Mohr, who clearly isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. In this wildly imaginative, post-apocalyptic romp, Skarsgård's "Boy" is a symphony of silent rage, carving through villains with the kind of glee only a video game-inspired inner voice could muster. It's as if Tarantino and a Saturday morning cartoon had a baby, and then let it play with too many sharp objects. The result is a bloody, gory mess-in the best way possible. Between the high-flying kicks and splatter-fest, there's just enough campy fun to keep the popcorn flowing.

However, not all that glitters is gold-or in this case, not all that splatters is plot. The film, while a rollicking good time, does stumble with its mismatched narration and main actor, occasionally feeling like you're watching a dub gone rogue. The script wobbles, with jokes that hit about as inconsistently as Boy's enemies, leaving some scenes feeling like a setup without a punchline. But let's not be too harsh; it's a debut, after all, and there's ample room to grow. What it lacks in narrative strength, it more than makes up for in sheer audacity and spectacle. "Boy Kills World" clearly doesn't take itself too seriously, which is perhaps its greatest strength. So strap in, grab your popcorn, and enjoy the wild, wacky ride-it's worth every unpredictable twist and turn.

Think "A Clockwork Orange" meets "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" on a sugar high.

[nERDbOX_Dave · 10/10 · 1 May 2024]

This isn't your average action flick. It's a hyper-stylized, ultra-violent popcorn extravaganza that throws everything at the wall and gleefully watches the mayhem unfold. Buckle up for a wild ride filled with outrageous characters, outlandish action sequences, and enough gore to make even the most seasoned horror fan wince (and maybe giggle).

Bill Skarsgård takes center stage as Boy, a sculpted killing machine on a singular mission: eliminate the sadistic Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen) for reasons both hilarious and tragic. The narrative unfolds through Boy's sardonic voiceover, courtesy of the inimitable H. John Benjamin, adding a layer of dark humor to the film's relentless carnage.

The world itself is a candy-colored dystopia, a bizarre mashup of futuristic tech and retro aesthetics. Think "A Clockwork Orange" meets "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" on a sugar high. This vibrant insanity fuels the film's action sequences, which are balletic in their choreography and gleefully over-the-top. Expect flying axes, exploding eyeballs, and enough creative kills to make your head spin.

"Boy Kills World" isn't for the faint of heart. The violence is frequent and brutal, but it's delivered with such a wink and a nudge that it becomes darkly comedic. It's a film that knows exactly what it is: a gloriously absurd escape into a world where the only thing more outlandish than the body count is the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

Surprisingly good, until it isn't

[joel-87474 · 7/10 · 28 April 2024]

The trailer looked a bit dodgy, but I just wanted a mindless action flick to turn my brain off after work. What I got instead was a fairly fresh take on a tired trope, at least up until the final scenes. Even within the guardrails of the Boy Becomes a Living Weapon to Seek Revenge subgenre, it manages just enough fresh takes to keep the viewer engaged. Some of the plot twists are fairly predictable, but others are too bizarre to anticipate.

The boy is deaf and mute, and has few (and unreliable) memories of his childhood. Because he can't remember what he himself sounds like, for his inner monologue he adopts the voice of the video game he was playing, the last time he can remember being happy. Fans of Archer (and Bob's Burgers) will appreciate H. Jon Benjamin providing the voice of our unreliably narrator.

The story trots along at a brisk pace, never apologizing for it's surreal and implausible storyline, nor taking itself seriously. This continues until almost the end of the movie, when it devolves into a typical Kung Fu punchup which substitutes gore for invention.

One is left with the feeling that the movie they'd been enjoying up till this point has suddenly taken ill and been replaced by its understudy. Or that they only had 10 minutes of screen time left but also several buckets of fake blood they didn't want to go to waste. It doesn't ruin the experience, but it's a bit of a letdown.

Violent but vapid.

[BA_Harrison · 4/10 · 1 May 2024]

After his family are killed by a tyrannical post-apocalyptic dynasty, a young boy is trained by a mysterious shaman (Yayan Ruhian) to become a deadly assassin hellbent on revenge. Grown up and ready for action, the Boy (Bill Skarsgård) teams up with resistance fighters Basho (Andrew Koji) and Bennie (Isaiah Mustafa) to try and kill the head of the dynasty, the wicked Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen).

I love a brutal revenge movie, and God knows this one doesn't shy away from the graphic violence, but the script is incredibly weak, while the comic book approach, with its offbeat humour and crazy characters, strives too hard for cult appeal. The film relies very heavily on its kooky comedy, most of which falls flat; it is, more often than not, very irritating, particularly the Boy's inner voice, his imaginary little sister Mina (Quinn Copeland), and Mustafa's incomprehensible Bennie.

Fortunately, the frequent action is, for the most part, well handled, with a nasty fight involving a cheese grater, an impressive scene with a mini-gun, and a suitably hard-hitting and bloody two-against-one final fight in the villain's bunker (those claws gouging their flesh - yowch!). I can't help but think that if the film had been played more seriously, minus the lame attempts at being wacky, it would have been a far more satisfying watch.

New, original and funny!

[mhtotalmoviefan · 9/10 · 2 May 2024]

What a pleasant surprise! This is the fun and ultra-violent exploitation film we needed. It's pure entertainment!

A lot of people nowadays love to say that films are all the same and that there are only remakes and reboots, but when something fun, original and new like this comes along, almost no one talks about it. I think it's hypocrisy or teenage drama.

Anyway, this film is cool as hell and reminds me a lot of old grindhouse films. It also reminds me of a mix of Kill Bill and The Raid. It has varied and cool characters, incredible fights with lots of blood, synthwave plays and the ending is really cool.

This film is a pleasant surprise.

That was really good!

[bbickley13-921-58664 · 7/10 · 27 April 2024]

For some reason watching the trailer I thought this was going to be one of those parody movies like Scary Movie but about the Hunger Games, but that's not it at all, in fact its not as funny as I thought it would be. I went in expecting a comedy but what I got is a amazing action flick.

In subject matter its pretty dark and disturbing which contradicts the inner voice of the main character who you may recognize coming out of Bob from Bob's Burgers. In that sense the contradiction made me laugh out loud a few times.

My favorite part however is that this movie seems to be an American attempt at the Indonesian marshal art Pencak silat reinforced by the movie business best practitioner Yayan Ruhian (not the name you were expecting me to say?) also starring in the flick.

Mr. Bill Skarsgård looked amazing (and like a turn of the century boy band member) pulling off these moves. I'm not talking the Raid here but I'm stratified with what Hollywood is temping with this.

Everything about this movie made me happy, it's a good time!

Had the making of a good movie but.......

[wbmqvz · 3/10 · 26 April 2024]

This has the making of a good film , a more modern violent, bloody Karate Kid. The training scenes were good and fight seen were excellent. What let it down were several clips that came across very drug trippy. The story line and outcome was very predictable and was obvious from the first few minutes. Most of the hand to hand fight action were very good and yes I turned away at some of the gore. What was silly was easily 50 people shooting at 1 man but not 1 round hit him. It reminded me of the A Team from the 80s, a million bullets fired but managed to hit nobody. Another thing what annoyed me, they made it like we were watching it through the eyes of Street Fighter game.

Great Action, Weak Script

[cdjh-81125 · 7/10 · 28 April 2024]

Was a bit mixed on this overall, loved the action sequence but everything in between not so much. Mainly because the story is so generic and the humour was very hit and miss for me. Bill Skarsgard really is the reason to see it though, he's quickly becoming one of my favourites, and as someone who loves gore in my action movies this absolutely scratched that itch. For a debut it's pretty impressive visually but I didn't really like the script that much, it's not got that much originality and there's a few reveals that feel ridiculously contrived. I knew nothing about this movie before I watched it and I can definitely say I was entertained. Suppose the best way I can describe my thoughts is that I liked the parts but the whole left me wanting more.

Remind of Kong Pow just lots blood

[phzgnkn · 7/10 · 27 April 2024]

Love my fair share of martial arts movies From the classic yer Jackie Chan to your Jet Li, but the 80' where action martial arts From Chuck Norris, to Steven Seagal but Lately on Netflix is my app for some mix Kung fu action of every kind to what ever Country.

Now a notice of Boy kills World that is independent action film produce by the Fine evil dead himself Sam Raimi Only to find it very exhausting in the Gore department, but awesome on The narrative of the protagonist with Some crafting dialogue.

But doesn't bring nothing else, just bloody fights, fun narrative, but overall of gore.

The likes the mixture of martial arts n parkour Are done very well, like the fight sequence of the culling stage was very nice n love me some double team, then comes the bunker sequence brother n sister side by side something that choreographed very done giving em lots subplot for challenge.

But the crème of creme goes to last fight against the chaman that was very of the style of the first Raid:Redemption even the baddie is in it.

Another thing goes the in voice of the boy when playing a fighting game he goes with that voice which pretty awesome n brand parking fun cause the many times he gets confuse for what he do, the script is bunker but funny that give uniqueness to the character.

The soundtrack is mixture of 80's pops with grindhouse vibes wish like.

Now the low the excessive of gore really losses the story which i find it bad, is revenge story but feel the gore wasn't necessary to have cause if ye wanna make it fun focus more on the acting n environment, but is just blood well ye lose my interest To conclude the film kicks butt every where, but theres no character development just gore n more gore, RRR ve it fights sequences but there was a story, hell even dance that Bollywood is no for.

This is gore is not even a slasher flick, try where there's story first then fight.
