Boy Kills World is a violent and gory action-thriller that is heavily inspired by video games. The film follows Boy, a trained assassin who must take down a totalitarian figurehead. Boy’s journey is filled with surreal and slapstick humor, but the film’s over-the-top violence and relentless voice-over narration may be too much for some viewers. The film is a litmus test for fans of video game movies, and its success will depend on viewers’ ability to embrace its absurdities.
Under the guidance of horror maestro Sam Raimi, the director of the upcoming action spectacle ‘Boy Kills World’ reveals the importance of achieving an R-rating to fully capture the film’s violent and gore-filled narrative. The film follows Boy, played by Bill Skarsgård, as he embarks on a vengeful quest, leaving a trail of creative and brutal kills in his wake. Director Moritz Mohr emphasizes the significance of delivering an over-the-top and violent experience, a vision fully supported by Raimi’s presence as a producer.
Bill Skarsgård stars in ‘Boy Kills World,’ a film that tries to be a revenge flick, a parody, and a social commentary all at once, but ends up being a mess. Despite Skarsgård’s compelling performance, the film is ultimately a disappointment.
The shredded physiques of Bill and Alexander Skarsgård, showcased in their recent action-packed films, raise questions about their shared fitness regimen. Bill’s muscular transformation in ‘Boy Kills World’ mirrors Alexander’s ripped build in ‘John Wick’. This eclectic and unhinged film blends elements of ‘John Wick’ and ‘Mortal Kombat’, featuring H. Jon Benjamin’s inner voice commentary and a cast that includes Yayan Ruhian, Michelle Dockery, and more.
