Noch hat Boss Level weder einen US- noch einen deutschen Kinostart. Aber der Film scheint fertig zu sein, zumindest wurde er bei einem Event, bei dem u. a. die Kollegen von Collider involviert waren, ersten Zuschauern, darunter The Walking Dead-Schöpfer Robert Kirkman, vorgestellt. Die ersten Reaktionen trudelten nun via Twitter ein (siehe unten). Diese sind zwar mit Vorsicht zu genießen, immerhin hatte Collider beim Screening die Finger im Spiel, vorenthalten wollen wir euch dieser aber auch nicht.
Boss Level ist eine Mischung aus Action- und Zeitschleifenfilm wie etwa Und Täglich Grüßt Das Murmeltier. Joe Carnahan, Regisseur von Smokin' Aces und The Grey - Unter Wölfen, hat Boss Level inszeniert. Der Film erzählt von Roy, dem Mitglied einer Spezialeinheit, der im Einsatz stirbt und daraufhin wieder quicklebendig am Morgen seines Todestages aufwacht. Klare Sache: Roy muss seinen eigenen Tod verhindern.
I saw Joe Carnahan's BOSS LEVEL and that movie is gonna fuckin' PLAY. (Perfect for a @SXSW drop if they're looking.) Tightly structured riff in the GROUNDHOG DAY/EDGE OF TOMORROW vein with a magnetic Frank Grillo front and center. Synopsis/first pics here: https://t.co/vGVFKU2TEQpic.twitter.com/XolBU4xQHc
Boss Level felt like it was made for me. It’s Groundhog Day if it starred Frank Grillo learning to become a better and better warrior in order to save his family and the world. High energy, awesome action, great twists and a huge heart. Carnahan crushed it. #bosslevel
Thanks to #colliderscreenings I got to see the upcoming movie #bosslevel by #joecarnahan starring #FrankGrillo and it was totally great! Nothing like seeing an insanely awesome movie completely cold. Highly recommended... in a few months.
What I loved most about #BossLevel wasn’t the time loop aspect, necessarily, but that the film is also a love letter to the old side-scrolling arcade games like Double Dragon and Street Fighter. As someone who grew up playing those games, this film was a real treat
#BossLevel is a timeloop movie on crack, FFwding through the traditional Groundhog Day approach to the point where our hero has developed a God-level mastery over his world. Loses some of the fun of timeloop discovery, but its a lean, messy but fun, B-action film in the best way.
Caught an early screening of #BossLevel and it was a great (is time-loop a genre?) time-loop action movie with heart. Definitely worth catching on a big screen. pic.twitter.com/CdYVYm1hMl
Thanks to #colliderscreenings we got to see #BossLevel the most insane and best action film of the year way in advance of its release date. Spectacular set pieces & such a cool high concept. Director #JoeCarnahan was extremely kind to my Kid. We had such a great time!
