Leave your thoughts about Boss Level.
| IndieWireChristian BlauveltIt’s a star part, and Grillo commands it. Most importantly, he gets you to invest in Roy enough that, even without a controller in your hands, you never feel like you’re simply watching someone else play a videogame. With no pixels in sight, Grillo gives “Boss Level” the thing most videogame movie riffs lack: a pulse. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThis is Grillo’s film to carry, and he pulls it off with a combination of brute force and light charm. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyBoss Level compensates for its overstuffed scenario and relentless derivativeness—actually, it makes you stop caring about its relentless derivativeness—with concentrated fast pacing and breakneck action. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonIt’s nothing groundbreaking, just good-humored bloody action directed at a frenetic pace, clocking in at about an hour and a half. Sometimes you need a little bit of fun, and Boss Level delivers. |
| The PlaylistCharles BarfieldRejoice action fans, Frank Grillo is here to save the action genre, and Boss Level proves that he has the goods to perhaps do just that. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzIt’s bloody, brutal, stupid fun – until it isn’t. Either running out of ideas or running into budgetary problems, Carnahan slows things down about halfway in, stopping the madness in its tracks to give Roy some humanity (not needed here, but thanks!) and to give audiences some yadda-yadda villainy from a bored-looking, here-for-the-paycheque Gibson (also, no thank you!). |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaA violent lark playing fast and loose with its science fiction so Grillo can have a blast. |
| CNNBrian LowryFor those craving an action distraction, it's a reasonably entertaining way to kill time. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanBy the end of Boss Level, you may feel a lot like Pulver. Putting “Groundhog Day” on action steroids, the film has a patina of cleverness that’s pleasing enough, but you’ve seen it before. And you’ll see it again. |
| The New York TimesElisabeth VincentelliRoy grows as a killer over the course of the movie, which involves an increasingly tedious amount of repetitive violence played for laughs — he’s like Wile E. Coyote, brushing himself off after falling off a cliff or being blown up. |
