A vérprofi exkatona, Roy, egy meglehetősen kíméletlen helyzetben találja magát: napról napra újra kell élnie saját erőszakos halálát. Tudja, ha szeretné megtörni az ördögi kört, segítőket kell találnia, és ami a legfontosabb, sosem adhatja fel. Mindegyik halála után le kell porolnia magát és folytatni a küzdelmet, mert a kegyetlen játékot csak úgy nyerheti meg, ha újra és újra megpróbálja. (Big Bang Media)

Meglepően friss és fantáziadús forgatókönyv egy videojáték-koncepciójú B-kategóriás filmhez képest, olyan fordulatokkal, amelyek a történet kliséit kétszer olyan messzire viszik a cselekményben, mint amire számítanánk. És rengeteg új humoros pillanattal. Non-stop szórakozás, kellemesen könnyed hangvétellel, amely (szerencsére) a legkevésbé sem veszi magát komolyan.

Carnahan’s early Xmas gift to connoisseurs. Even though this is rather a cheap, nostalgically bloody production with just average special effects and an uncomplicated, nineties story, it has so many nods and so much self-parody that it’s easy to forgive. The time loop is the catalyst, but Boss Level is more about love of action, old video games and family. Frank Grillo is great as both ultimate killer and caring father. He reels off great one-liners, one after another, so you can’t help but root for him. Gibson enjoys himself greatly in the role of colonel with a savior complex who likes listening to himself speak. Naomi Watts manages to chisel out the most complex of characters in just two scenes. Great fun, but I’m very sad that I won’t be able to see it in the movie theater, thanks to Covid. There's something I don't like about him. He has that... trait. ... The overachiever who makes up for a lack of talent with hustle.

Hmm, that a film called Boss Level doesn’t have, well, a boss level was quite a surprise. Otherwise, this is a likeable action time loop with a video game logic, where Frank Grillo has many attempts to overcome numerous obstacles in order to reach the final boss performed by Mel Gibson. And, as it’s clear from the opening statement of this review, the climax with Mel Gibson was not very satisfactory. But yeah, I had fun, I was in the mood for something this silly and easygoing, so bugger it, 4*, though I can imagine I would trash it if I were in a different mood; objectively, it’s bollocks after all…

It’s a bit of a shame that Mel Gibson plays the bad guy here, but on the flip side, Frank Grillo fits the hero role perfectly. I’ve always seen him as more of a supporting actor, but here he absolutely nails it as the action hero caught in a time loop. Speaking of time loops, they never seem to get old, do they? Boss Level ends up being one of the most entertaining action flicks in recent months. The action is top-notch, the story is classic, but you’ll love the creative twists the filmmakers have thrown in.

A tight action B-movie with a time loop reminiscent of a video game with the excellent Frank Grillo, who has quite possibly the best performance of his career. The main character wakes up every morning with a bunch of assassins trying to kill him for reasons unknown, and when he fails, his day resets again. Very entertaining and playfully with lots of ideas, fine lines, and decent action, even though there are no proper fights or shootouts, it's mostly very spectacular and quick disposals, but it doesn't matter too much. Mel Gibson and Naomi Watts are just for show, but even in such a small space Mel managed to impress me, especially with his story with the snake. Good fun. Story****, Action****, Humor****, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. 8/10.
