BOY KILLS WORLD is now in theaters

[tinyreviews]

Tiny Review: Boy Kills World 2023. Popcorn Raid-like violence.

John Wick meets The Raid, with an actor who appeared in both.  

And the actor who played Pennywise in IT.

I liked they did two twists. One obvious and one not.

Boy Kills World is a 2023 dystopian action comedy film directed by Moritz Mohr, in his directorial debut. The film stars Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, Yayan Ruhian, Andrew Koji, Sharlto Copley, Famke Janssen and features the voice of H. Jon Benjamin.

Boy Kills World: A fun, silly, strange film

Get ready for a unique ride! Check out our review for this fun, silly, and strange revenge film where things get very, very weird.

Bill Skarsgård plays the titular “Boy” whose mother and sister are killed by a ruthless dictator. He signs up to be trained by a martial arts master, Shaman (Yayan Ruhian), who generally tortures and drugs him while also, yes, training him to fight. In order to survive this harsh lifestyle, the boy adopts an inner persona (voiced with hilarious accuracy by H. Jon Benjamin), and eventually starts…

Trailers

Bill Skarsgård stars as Boy, a mayhem machine with a hilarious inner voice who's been trained from childhood by his mentor (Yayan Ruhian) to assassinate the bloodthirsty Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke Janssen) and avenge his family’s murder. Guided by his little sister’s mischievous spirit, Boy uncovers one stunning revelation after another as he barrels toward Hilda, leading to a shocking, carnage-crazed finale.

Pre-order Boy Kills World.

[remedialreviews]

At its best, which is all of its first hour, it's relentless action and a blood-splattering of laughs. At its worst, which is most of the rest, it's unnecessary "character development" and "moral complexity." BOring. (No, really.) It's a genuine shame that by the time real martial arts star Yayan Ruhian (most brutal part of The Raids) gets to kick, the film has exhausted the viewer's patience and it's just too obvious that he deserves an opponent who also knows how to actually fight.

Boy Kills World (2024) review

Voice of Archer inside Pennywise’s ripped body… I was surprised he at no point screamed “LANAAAAA!!”

Plot: Boy is a mayhem machine who's been training to assassinate the bloodthirsty Hilda Van Der Koy and avenge his family's murder; guided by his sister's mischievous spirit, Boy uncovers one stunning revelation after another as he barrels toward Hilda.

Let’s get real - a cheese grater in a horror or gore film is simply the worst. Just the thought of it scraping away a hefty chunk of flesh is nothing short of skin crawling. Evil Dead Rise and now Boy Kills World - you guys are messed up. Nevertheless, we have another funky revenge action flick, a genre of which has seen a real resurgence since the success of the John Wick franchise. And it stars in the lead one of the eight Skarsgard siblings, though when you think action star you usually would pick Alexander. Bill up until now has carved out a niche as the best one to hire if you’re seeking a creepy vibe, be it the mysterious stranger in Barbarian or a killer clown in the IT films. However that changes with Boy Kills World, as Bill Skarsgard, rippling with muscles, plays the typical I-am-an-instrument-shaped-for-a-single-purpose; essentially a killing machine who disposes of his enemies in a variety of bloody styles (like a damn cheese grater!!).

This would have been a generic example of the revenge tropes, however the movie has an interesting stylistic choice in that Skarsgard’s character of Boy is a mute, so we get to hear his thoughts through a voice in his head, who happens to be the same voice as Archer from the FX cartoon series. I admire that the writers were trying out something new, but I must say as much as I enjoy H.J. Benjamin’s candescent voice, it did become over indulgent. It’s as if they were trying to imitate Deadpool’s fourth wall breaks and profanities, but without it being that funny. I also found it difficult to reconcile them as being the same person, as the mismatch of Bill Skarsgard’s physical performance with Benjamin’s voice was so stark that it became a distraction. Again though, I admire the creative effort.

The action sequences are hyper stylised and fun, with plenty of CGI blood splattering about and the camera zooming in and out of the action like it’s high on cocaine. The cast all seem to be having lots of fun, with the likes of Sharlto Copley, Michelle Dockery and Brett Gelman giving energetic cartoony performances, and overall I enjoyed it. The story is as by the numbers as you can expect, and 99% of what you see on-screen has been done thousands of times before. I liked the plot twist at the end though it was no M. Night Shyamalan, and in the end, it was a decent way to disengage the brain. Will I remember it though? No chance! Minus a point also for boy not actually killing a whole world. Like I get that they didn’t have the biggest budget, but don’t give false promises in your title.

Overall score: 5/10

Boy Kills World (2024)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Boy Kills World has several scenes with machine gun fire, lighting up dark environments, not all of which is predictable. The opening shot has some lightning. One character has a vision after being knocked out which includes some strobe effects throughout, with this vision lasting about a minute.

The camera moves at high speeds to follow the action, but never shakes violently. There is one long and highly-disorienting orbiting shot.

Flashing Lights: 7/10. Motion Sickness: 6/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: This is a very bloody film. Executions of innocent people are depicted, with children being among the victims. One random person vomits immediately after witnessing a kill that involves multiple giant hooks.

Boy Kills World film review Director(s): Moritz Mohr Main cast: Bill Skarsgärd, H. Jon Benjamin, Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Famke Janssen, Brett Gelman, Yayan Ruhian, Andrew Koji, Isaiah Mustafa and Sharlto Copely. Runtime: 111 minutes. Basic Plot: In a post-apocalyptic world, a deaf and mute orphan enacts revenge against those who murdered his family. The protagonist is aided by years of intense training, comrades and his inner voice. Caution Warning: ⁃ Blood and gore Overall Thoughts: Boy kills world is an interesting action thriller. The choreography, costumes, special effects and acting are good. In addition, there is also a great plot twist. However, there are some legitimate problems with this film. First, Bill Skarsgärd is not deaf or mute, making him an inappropriate actor to play a death and mute character. There are plenty of deaf actors, meaning that the casting people have no reasonable cause to not hire an actor from that community. Secondly, actor Brett Gelman is a Zionist who strongly supports the State of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Aside from these issues, Boy kills world is still an entertaining action film. Overall rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
