Critics Consensus

Boss Level powers up the increasingly crowded time-loop genre with a gleefully over-the-top sci-fi action thriller that revels in its own excess.

Audience Says

There aren't many movies that successfully use video game-style mechanics to tell a fun story, but Boss Level is one sci-fi action thriller that proves an exception to the rule.

Globe and Mail

Time and again, Grillo surprises and delights, no matter the creative or financial restraints placed upon him. Boss Level could learn a thing or two from its leading man.

Newsday

Not funny or provocative at all, but simply the droning spectacle of this unlikable man being killed and then killed again.

Rated: 1/4

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

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

Worth watching, Frank Grillo does a good job, the repetitive nature of the groundhog theme was at a minimal. the story was reasonable. As an action film it ticks all the boxes. Switch your brain off and it's a fun film. Recommended, but nothing stunning.

Watched it five times and it still entertains as much as the first. Highly recommended if you like repeating time travel loops, sword fighting, revenge, strong action all mixed in with a love story and a father - son relationship.

I actually really quite enjoyed this. Though… SPOILERS AHEAD: I didn’t really believe Naomi loved him. I didn’t really believe Mel as the baddie. And why oh why did they not just give us 2 more minutes at the end to show us what was going to happen afterwards. But other than that, I enjoyed it. Groundhog repetition premise but in a Free Guy meets Mortal Combat situation. Also some heart strings pulled.

Um filme tão, mas tão zoado, que se torna muito, muito legal, uma viagem bizarra aos dias repetitivos, no melhor estilo "Feitiço do tempo", aqui denominado "Fuso de Osíris", morto de 250 maneiras diferentes e criativas, sangrentas e decepantes, narrado de maneira divertida, com personagens caricatos e carismáticos, e um desfecho melodramático fofinho... O malfadado abandono paternal se redimindo em prol de salvar o mundo e a si mesmo… Divertido, criativo, exagerado e delicinha...

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I had a blast watching this, and it didn't feel like as much of a failure as films that were released around the same time frame.

Absolutely brilliant, action packed, fun movie, have watched this now multiple times, and it just gets better and better. Great story, and cleverly done, time travel movies don't always work, but this one does, and does it well.. Frank Grillo is perfect in this, with a fantastic cast to work with. If you haven't seen it then you should..
