What to Know

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.

Kristy Puchko Pajiba Don't waste your time on Boss Level. Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Barry Hertz 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. Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Robert Levin 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 Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Steve Morrissey Radio Times Carnahan understands how this sort of film works, delivering a fast and fun actioner that plays out like a spectacularly gonzo Groundhog Day. Rated: 4/5 Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine ... An action comedy in which death isn't as tragic as lost time. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews Frank Grillo shines in Boss Level, a time loop sci-fi action drama featuring irresistible fight scenes, hilarious absurdity, and a surprisingly meaningful twist.

Apple T 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Rosana B 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 10/12/24 Full Review William B 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Paul S 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.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Mate ou Morra Elenco: @frankgrillo1 @official.mel_gibson @official_mel_gibson @naomiwatts @michelleyeoh_official @annabellewallis @kenjeong @itsselinalo Modelo: #artesmarciais #ação #ficção Duração: 1h 40m Ano: 2020 Minha opinião: Filmes com Loop temporal como “No Ultimo do Amanhã”, “Contra o Tempo”, “A Morte te Dá Parabéns”. E estes 3 filmes são bons e vale apena assistir. E aqui temos mais um bom “Mate ou Morra”. Um filme muito bem elaborado e inteligente, divertido, e com muita ação, luta, armas e espada, ahhh metralhadoras. E temos aqui Grillo e Gibson juntos. A estória onde Roy (Grillo) acorda todos os dias depois que ele morre. E isso ocorre milhares de vezes, onde ele perseguido por matadores e acaba morrendo e acordando novamente. Mas tudo isso envolve sua ex-esposa Jemma(Watts) que é uma cientista que trabalha para Clive (Gibson) na construção de máquina. E que de forma escondida colocou nela os dados de Roy. E parte divertida são os mais diversos matadores do filme que ele tem que lutar. Até conseguir a perfeição para conseguir a passar e vencer a todos desafios, onde para isso até aprender a lutar com espada com Dai (Michelle Yeoh). E ao final ele vence todos os seus adversários e chegar a luta final com Clive vencendo ele também salva sua esposa da morte que antes havia morrido e assim vivem uma família feliz com seu filho que conheceu melhor nesse looping. E assim todos vivem felizes para sempre. Roteiro e enredo como várias sendo repetidas por causa do Looping, são bem executadas e bom enredo. Vale apena assistir? Sim. Nota: 8,5 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Jeremy A One of my favorite time loop/ groundhog day movies. A riot. I wont say more.
