I watched an hour of this awful movie and eventually had to give up, acting awful, not funny. Can't believe it's got a 4.8 rating to be honest. Don't waste your time

Plot summary
Multiple bullets, multiple targets, one name. Pop quiz: someone is running around London killing your namesake. What do you do? Do you run? Do you stay and fight? If you're quasi-famous YouTuber Ben Lyk (Eugene Simon of Game of Thrones),you vlog about it and hope for the best. That is, until Scotland Yard, in order to sort this mess out, rounds him up along with every other Ben Lyk in town keeping them holed up in a safe house that isn't so safe. And once the Ben Lyk's begin dropping one by one, it's a mad dash to figure out why this is even happening.

Absolute codswallop
The British used to be funny.....
I'm not sure what happened to British comedy ("cough....woke") but humour is no longer their strong suit.
"Kill Ben Lyk" isn't funny. Its premise and characters follow a predictable tired trajectory, accompanied by hackneyed humour, that's simply put, unintelligent and boring.
I managed about thirty minutes before giving up. The acting is fine but so much else is uninspired, there is little left to say.
May suit the easy pleased but, I suspect, it will irritate the discerning.
3/10.
Redirect the camera
Let me start by saying that this movie has a great premise and from the trailers I knew I'd at least enjoy it.
And I did, the supporting cast is excellent.
The only issue is we barely get to interact with them at all.
With excellent artists like Scroobius Pip who portray some actual interesting characters, it feels like they're barely in the movie, all being killed off with little screen time or fanfare
Instead, we get an insufferable vlogger who not only takes up most of the movie, it's apparent by the end of it that he's learned nothing and not grown at all. He's still the same child that got everyone killed, and seems to have not changed for the process in the slightest.
Between that and police chief mom singing nursery rhymes (with no pay off) the movie focuses all its energy on the wrong parts.
The supporting cast is excellent though, give it that.
