Well, I must admit that I wasn't really expecting all that much from the movie titled "Boss Level". Why? Well, it was a movie with Frank Grillo and Mel Gibson in it. Not really something that thrilled me particularly.

But given the fact that I hadn't already seen it, and was presented with the opportunity to do so, I found myself sitting down to watch director Joe Carnahan's movie "Boss Level".

And color me impressed...

This movie was a blast. I loved the storyline and the way that things were repeated over and over, but at the same time made quite different. And it was these changes to the same situation that made the movie so enjoyable. Sure, the storyline was also good and definitely proved to be entertaining.

And I will say that Frank Grillo was actually quite good in the lead role for this movie, and his performance was spot on. He was actually rather nicely cast for a movie of this type. And while Mel Gibson was in the movie, though not for all that long, it was actually fun enough to see him in a a villainous role for a change. "Boss Level" also have the likes of Selina Lo and Michelle Yeoh on the cast list, which was quite a nice treat.

"Boss Level" is action from start to end, and it was the enjoyable kind of non-stop action. Which was something that surprised me, and definitely brought a lot of enjoyment to the movie for me.

If you haven't already seen "Boss Level", I can strongly recommend you take the time to do so, if you get the chance. This is a very enjoyable and entertaining movie.

My rating of "Boss Level" lands on an eight out of ten stars.

Greetings from Lithuania.

After i read a premise of "Boss Level" (2021) is decided to watch it as a guilty pleasure on a boring evening - i did not believed this movie will be any good somehow but i liked the premise on paper. What i can say after watching it, is that you don't judge a book by its cover, because "Boss Level" really delivers.

This movie was superbly paced - at running time 1 h 38 min it never dragged and was interesting from start till finish. The story here was an interesting one and involving. Directing was very solid and basically because of good directing this movie was actually really good one. Action scenes (and there are plenty of them) were very well made.

Overall, "Boss Level", no matter how stupid its title is and it maybe sounds on paper - was actually a very entertaining flick. Don't take it too seriously and you will be pleasantly surprised.

How many times can you repeat the same thing over and over again? And will you get tired of it? I imagine there are some deleted scenes here with some interesting stuff that was cut due to pacing issues. But even with the stuff left in, it is more than enough to tingle your action bone/sense or whatever you want to call it. No innuendo here and just a lot of violence, in case you were wondering.

Having said all that Frank Grillo does an amazing job playing the guy who knows a lot of things and has also seen a movie or two (Taken reference in regards to himself and also the Indiana Jones scene ... a very infamous one, taken here with a twist). And add some gaming references too, a very small role for MIchelle Yeoh and others. Actually that may be the only thing that I sort of "dislike" here. There are so many different and cool characters I would have loved to have explored more ... to have more scenes of! Will Sasso looks anything like that fun Dude I know from other movies ... he's quite buff and strong like a mountain here. And then you have Mel Gibson ... how cool is he? That's rhetorical ... and while I wish there was more of him ... he at least has that one scene/monolgue or story time that kind of makes up for that.

So if you are not squeamish and you know the director and his work and humor ... you'll probably love this as much as many here did.
