“Show me the way…”
Boy Kills World is an action-thriller film that premiered on April 26th 2024. The film stars Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Rothe, Famke Janssen, Andrew Koji, and H. Jon Benjamin. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.
After losing the ability to speak and hear, “Boy” has been trained for many years to assassinate the woman responsible for killing his entire family.
Here is the trailer:
Boy Kills World delivers with fantastic fight scenes and a few welcomed twists to shake things up. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Gory and well-choreographed fight scenes.
If you like the movie, The Raid, then Boy Kills World is right up your alley. The fight scenes were truly exceptional and there were plenty of gruesome and bloody moments. I came for the action and this film delivered in that department and then some. Loved it!
Bill Skarsgård is fantastic!!!
For not saying anything at all during the movie, he dominated the screen! He was very captivating and I was pulled into the emotional aspects as well, which says a lot about his talent.
The rest of the cast was a lot of fun as well. I love Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) and thought she stepped into this role flawlessly. Let’s cast her in more films please!
It was also really cool having H. Jon Benjamin as the voice inside Boy’s head. It kind of felt like Archer was making a special guest appearance, which lightened things up and made this a fun watch with insane action.
Andrew Koji was a scene stealer too!
The Cons:
Took me a little bit to adjust to the style.
This wasn’t a major con, but the first half of the film had a slower start for me and I just felt like I had to get used to the voice-over and trippy scenes. The second half of the film was a lot stronger. I’m not sure that this film is for everyone, but it did have a unique appeal to it, which I really appreciated.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!!
Boy Kills World is a unique and trippy watch with bloody fantastic fight scenes!

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…
It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
