Boss Level Reviews

Carnahan understands how this sort of film works, delivering a fast and fun actioner that plays out like a spectacularly gonzo Groundhog Day.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2024

... An action comedy in which death isn't as tragic as lost time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 26, 2023

Frank Grillo shines in Boss Level, a time loop sci-fi action drama featuring irresistible fight scenes, hilarious absurdity, and a surprisingly meaningful twist.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2023

Joe Carnahan takes an idea of what video games are, slaps on a hard R-rating, and stomps the accelerator, rarely taking his foot off the gas.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022

Boss Level felt like a ton of fun, like opening a new game on release day.

| Aug 17, 2022

Carnahan has delivered intriguing action films in the past, but the outcome here is less than captivating.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 5, 2022

There is plenty of action in this film, no small amount of humor, and a compelling story about love and redemption. The acting is solid and the main characters are compelling.

| Original Score: B | Dec 9, 2021

Boss Level is a wickedly fun and outrageously entertaining action romp.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2021

Although the story is somewhat predictable... the film succeeds in making us care about our protagonist. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 21, 2021

A thoroughly enjoyable thrill ride that provides just as many laughs as it does badassery.

| Original Score: 3.5 / 5 | Jun 26, 2021

When your jaw isn't dropping at the stellar action sequences, you'll be laughing at one of Roy's expletive-laden quips

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 23, 2021

Boss Level is not particularly deep, nor is it an innovative twist on the genre. But everyone on-screen is clearly having a blast, and their enthusiasm is contagious, making this film just plain fun to watch.

| Original Score: 4 | Jun 8, 2021

It's all pretty dumb, but manages to be occasionally fun.

| Jun 6, 2021

A zippy, crafty delight....even action snobs will find "Boss Level" a good time.

Time-loop movies are fun-they're metaphors for human reincarnation; each repeating day representing an accelerated lifetime. According to the sages however, when we reincarnate, our memories are erased. "Boss Level" features fun but painful day do-overs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 6, 2021

Frank and Rio Grillo share the film's best scenes. They need to make more movies together, because the kid brings out a new shade of pale in his dad's onscreen persona.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 31, 2021

This is a film whose only ambition is to let Grillo kick all the ass he wants...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 26, 2021

It's not high art, but it is fun. And, if you're willing to get on its level, perhaps even moving.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 19, 2021

While Boss Level feels a little derivative and a teensy bit dumb, it gets points for stretching the genre in new directions.

| Mar 16, 2021

If this is a video game, as the title suggests, Carnahan's playing it on easy mode.
