    hey this is a good movie!

    The trailer actually makes this seem goofier than it actually is. time loop stories are actually difficult to tell. Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow are gold standards but this does a pretty good job - taking you on the same ride as the protagonists as he learns more and more about what's happening and how he can change the outcome. Another surprisingly enjoyable part of the movie is the dialogue. It's very of aware of either itself or the corny cliches of other action movies and Frank Grillo does a good job of delivering the snark. Get comfy on the couch with a few beers and enjoy watching this one.

    Stick with it - it's worth it

    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.

    I am a reviewer, and a reviewer had done this.

    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.

    Yesss that's a fun movie!

    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!

    Enjoyable

    This is quite an interesting film. It looks like a video game, but it has both action and emotional elements. I enjoyed it.

    • Trivia
      Frank Grillo's actual son Rio Grillo plays his son Joe in the movie.
    • Goofs
      When 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 versions
      There 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).
