Film Review: ‘Boss Level’: A “No Pain, no Gain” Time-Looper Movie
Remember when the 1960’s zombies use to stagger around, real slow-like? 2000’s “28 Days” gave us 100-yard-dash zombies, and that was very scary. When an idea makes money in Hollywood, every last permutation and combination of that new genre gets mined for more ducats.
Now time-loop movies abound; it’s rapidly approaching the over-saturation point. Kicked off by 1993’s now-legendary “Groundhog Day,” we just reviewed the teen rom-com time-looper “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things,” and now here comes a sci-fi action thriller version already; “Boss Level,” for the demographic of boys-who-love-video-games.
