Boy Kills World is an action-packed movie that adrenaline junkies will love. It’s full of non-stop action and keeps the excitement level high throughout its runtime of about 110 minutes. The story begins with a training montage and leads into various fights that test a wide range of skills. The audience will be thrilled with the fantastic choreography, which combines several action franchises to create something both unique and familiar. The movie features fist-to-fist fights with brutal martial arts, gunplay that rivals John Wick in its lethality, and anime-like acrobatics that defy physics. Although it’s silly and over-the-top, the result is an amazing spectacle that’s perfect for anyone looking for pure energy, high-stakes destruction, and a way to escape reality for a while.
The movie has a special quality that is both perfect and excessive at the same time. Its musical soundtrack is loud and energetic, featuring heavy metal, rock, and other elements that enhance the intensity of every kill scene. This is the main focus of the film, and if you enjoy this type of entertainment, you are sure to have a great time watching it.
The movie’s action component is not the only thing that’s good about it. The production quality of other elements in the movie is also excellent, and it manifests in various forms. The costumes, for instance, are perfect for this kind of movie. They are elaborate, unique, and representative of the various boss characters and minions that our heroes face. Fans like me will recognize the influences and perhaps appreciate the attention to detail. Other elements such as dynamic camera work refresh the movie and give it a different feel despite the similarities between scenes.
The acting in the movie was impressive, even without much dialogue. All the actors seemed to be having a great time and brought their characters to life in an enjoyable way, even the ones who played sleazy characters that ruined the lives of others. The comedy in the movie was particularly outstanding, matching the over-the-top theme of the movie scene for scene.
The writing in this movie is incredibly humorous, with the best part being the narrative. Boy’s internal voice provides commentary, questioning what’s going on in a way that reminds me of Bob’s Burgers providing his thoughts on a serious action film. Other tactics used include ridiculous gibberish illustrated by Boy’s imagination, his “teammate” trying to hype the moment up, slapstick humor during the fights, and a few choice quotes. Despite occasionally veering off-course, the movie manages to never go overboard with its style, and I can appreciate the balance that’s struck to keep everything enjoyable.
Overall, Boy Kills World is a movie that lives up to its title, with its unapologetic violence and thrilling action scenes. It borrows from various other films and shows in this genre, diving headfirst into its ridiculous nature and keeping the pace moving with little delay or character development. The simple yet humorous narrative works well and utilizes all the fundamentals of filmmaking to create a fun and entertaining movie, as long as one can overlook the darker elements. The movie has heart, good acting, and production values that prove not everything needs to be stagnant or too artistic. However, the violence and simplistic story may limit its appeal to some fans, along with the anime or video game-like feel of the film. I highly recommend catching it in a theater or on a home theater system that can support its good qualities.
Boy Kills World is now playing in theaters.
